World's largest open library calls for volunteers to scan and preserve physical books as AI companies buy, scan, and destroy them — Anna's Archive says ‘time is running out’ as ‘knowledge is permanent

And how about you? Do you have the hard originals of every book? Why do you suddenly care only now that books are being copied?? They've been getting scanned for half a century now. You only care now to be outraged about it something for today

And we used copiers and voice recorders for that since before computers. That has been used since the 70s. Even earlier.

scanning that and adding it to the common knowledge and making it accessible is something we've been doing since computers were a thing decades before today.

Students now still use recordings that can be parsed into text.

Suddenly it's an issue now because someone needs so badly to be outraged by literally everything that can be distorted into a rage bait title like this one.

What’s an obscure but concrete technical fact that keeps creating preventable issues in the real world?

so your idea is installing a system is pushing for classism and hoping to furthering socioeconomic downturn on the landscape of select neighbourhoods with select individuals with large populations that are struggling, paying the most taxes, yet expected to travel for lower wage jobs and you want to make their travel to work harder.

how bigotted.

destroying (A) physical copy. in order to copy the (1) copy of a book(which most new already exist as pdf). kinda like how people do it when they scan the book. which has been happening for decades now to make knowledge permanent.

far cry from "destroying all books" which these rage bait titles suggest. we arent standing around a pit of fire.

bigger tragedy is how humans seem shittier at communication as AI learns. probably a more accurate title.

and yet that is not denying i made a good point. the mistake you made here is you think i care about getting a rando internet stranger's approval over my parameters of how i must survive and succeed. and boy did i hand you a good one if all your comeback here was just about how much i didnt kiss your specific ass enough.

yes i think it belongs in the same category as hoarders. the moment you go over the means you need to survive/accumulsting more than you can use in a lifetime it should be considered a mental illness and should be treated as such.

tax the rich btw
