🦔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.

The rumor has always been the Federal Reserve and President Hoover intentionally caused the collapse of 1929.

They did this by raising rates and keeping the money supply tight despite obvious signs the trade war had destroyed growth.

They "feared inflation" even while the economy was in a death spiral.

As the "conspiracy theory" goes, they collapsed the system because the banks were losing control to the private credit market.

They inflated a massive bubble allowing inflation to get out of control after massive money printing, now they're keeping global Dollar supply tight.

They allowed the bubble to get out of control so they could collapse everything. We're seeing the exact same thing today. This blockade has destroyed trade.

Everything they're doing is forcing Dollars to flow back into the United States, creating an environment of scarcity everywhere else in the world.

It's the same playbook as 1929, just with a modern twist. 🤫

@EmmanuelAcho Just stopping by for the ratio.

[Roberto Rios @peruvian_bull]

FINANCIAL GRAVITY:

If we divide the S&P 500 by the fed’s balance sheet, the line is basically flat since 2008.

The correlation coefficient between central bank quantitative easing and the price of stock indexes is nearly 1.

The money printed by the Fed, because of the structure of the Open Market Operations, is plugged directly into the Treasury markets, and from there, flows into equities and derivatives.

This has served to primarily enrich the asset owners, financial institutions, and wealthy elites who own the majority of the stock market anyways.

The entire rally has been an illusion, financed by the Fed and maintained through QE.

The redpill on this is: America never recovered from 2008 and it's been 18 years of economic stagnation. Everyone wants to make this more complicated than it is, but it's exactly that simple. Dead zombie economy.

The internet doesn’t believe the official stories about two Senators: the death of Lindsey Graham & the recent proof of life regarding Mitch McConnell.

I wonder why?

“That loss of trust is profound and permanent for millions of us. We no longer default to believing official statements.”

@HenrikZeberg You’re just wrong here. In the same way you call out Bitcoin Bro’s for blindness to the ideology of BTC, this is a blind spot of yours in the area of institutional health dogma.

[Wen Moon @WenMoon770]

@FinanceLancelot Why wouldn’t it go back up and hit your parabola again before going down? Maybe to 100k to 110k? Seems like down from here would be a break from the pattern along the parabola?

Parents are told, “Introduce ONE new food at a time — like eggs — and wait 4–5 days to watch for ANY ALLERGIC REACTION.”

That’s official AAP & CDC guidance. Smart, cautious, and responsible.

Then at the 6-month checkup, the same experts say:

“Here’s 9 vaccines at once — DTaP, Hib, PCV, Polio, Rotavirus, HepB, and RSV. All together. No problem.”

How does this make any sense?

One new food at a time with a waiting period… but a full cocktail of vaccines injected and given orally all on the same day?

Babies are tiny. Their immune systems are still developing.

Parents aren’t crazy for noticing this double standard and asking questions. We want to protect our children with real informed consent — not blind trust in the schedule.
