[Books Behind Borders @MHTruthUltra]

Israel now occupies more of Lebanon than Russia occupies of Ukraine.

But of course that's a 'good' invasion.

So there is silence.

[Faust 🧙‍♂️☢️🇦🇷🌞 @toffee_32]

sorry u are. a classic of literature is not just a big wordy book that everyone just "likes". It's a work that is canonized as a product of the imaginary of a broad culture/civilization/society. Idk what civilization could Saya no Uta could represent

They were stealing tips from workers

[Eldritch Elli @EliaEldrit53195]

Something hilarious about antis is that they get it in their head that lolicons/proshippers are evil and want to do bad things, that when this gets proven wrong time and time again, instead of reevaluating their views. they instead label it hypocrisy.

they should invent a good thing that happens to me

[FactPost @factpostnews]

A high school teacher in Kansas was arrested for clapping in opposition to a proposed data center during a city council meeting.

[Shahanshah of the Internet Age @ChazakielDoremi]

Nobody seems to understand this but I cannot stress enough that a judge told Anthropic that training their AI models didn't constitute copyright violation as long as they 'transferred' the text instead of 'copying' it, legally necessitating the destruction of the books

ONTARIO, there're plans to build AI hyperscale datacenters in Scarborough, Mississauga, and Oakville, some of the most heavily populated cities. Tomorrow July 29th city hall meetings will be held for Scarb and Miss. Call your city councilors, mayors, and turn out for the rallies

[KAK 2 @allenvonghornet]

Really funny how leftists on here have done everything from cheer on controversial right aligned policy in regards to punitive justice, defend mass media censorship, and are just insanely racist to Indians a lot but THIS is the thing that really gets people lol

[Datto @DattosDestiny]

as of now, august 18th will be my last day as 'datto does destiny'. i plan on retiring from the game and content creation for the game. deadlock will be my new home going into the future (along with variety). i'll have more to say when we get closer to the 18th.

[onodera @SOSonodera]

it’s ironic looking back at myself in 2021 when i believed that umineko was overrated and i wasn’t going to enjoy it, considering how it’s been 2 years since i finished it and i still see traces of the work not only in other stories, but even in the smallest of daily interactions

btw anthropic's internal document on this literally said "we don't want it to be known that we are working on this.”

it was called project panama.

here's exactly what happened:

1: anthropic concluded that books were the cheapest way to build a world-class model because they gave claude curated facts, structured arguments, compelling stories, and writing “an editor would approve of.”

2: once anthropic decided it needed books at enormous scale, its first solution was piracy.

it downloaded 7m+ books from online libraries including libgen. the judge later wrote that although anthropic had legal ways to buy them, it chose piracy to avoid what dario amodei called the “legal/practice/business slog.”

3: that piracy created a massive legal risk.

so in february 2024, anthropic hired tom turvey, the former head of partnerships for google books, to find a legally safer way of obtaining “all the books in the world.”

4: turvey first contacted major publishers about licensing their catalogs.

those attempts didn’t produce agreements, so anthropic chose a route that required no publisher permission: buying millions of physical books through distributors and used-book retailers.

5: within about a year, anthropic spent tens of millions acquiring and scanning millions of books, including many rare and 1/1 titles. one vendor proposal targeted 500,000 to 2 million books in six months.

6: to scan that many books within months, the vendors physically dismantled them.

a hydraulic cutter removed each spine. the pages were trimmed to size, fed as loose sheets through high-speed industrial scanners, and converted into searchable PDFs. the paper remains were then sent for recycling.

7: these PDFs were fed into claude as training data.

the complete collection became a private, searchable anthropic library that the company planned to “store forever.” the scans aren’t available to the public and were never open-sourced.

One of the most evil things imaginable to me

[𝓔𝓶 ♡ @emkenobi]

He was arrested for having sexual images of children. They both are accused of sex trafficking. Their daughters should never be around them again for their own protection.

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

America, the land where mothers get arrested because they can't afford diapers for their babies while rich pedophiles get away with raping children.

[Rev 💀🦇 @RevRedline]

seeing that fucking 14 dollars and her first reaction is "enough for diapers" go to hell you heartless bitch
