@MaheshAdvani99@IndianTechGuide They already receive incentives for exactly that. Stop begging for too much. Y’all are getting too complacent being undeservingly greedy.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."
My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."
I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

If you are based in India, and you are not already from a well connected family, the ONLY way for you to build high level connections is via the internet
Middle class and below India are basically very similar to cattle
The only things they care about are exam results, job work, and food (notice that most successful startups there are coaching classes and food delivery apps)
If you want to build a business, you need to get on the internet and do something
You will not get anywhere spending your around with Motu and Moti eating samosas and pastas who think they've made it because they have a job making $50k a year (and sometimes even less)
You will become like the people you spend time around.
Do not spend time around human cattle
Look at these people crowding around a place hoping to take a photo of a celebrity
HUMAN CATTLE

@itsmeneshey >Then the only logical way out for them will be demanding Reparations for historical wrongs, which they will.
Is he really giving unjustified death threats for fictional and/or ancient things?
While your world burns, you carry water—bucket after bucket, ash after ash, waiting for the next blaze. Set them down. Take up your sword. Slay the dragon whose fire made the ruin.
