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

Yall keep overreacting to this bs, what's even a rare book with no other copies, every article I saw says the books were scheduled to be destroyed or taken to a dump, and those are the books they are swooping up. I have a feeling rare means like 1st edition or one with typos or some sht. These are books ppl already weren't buying that they are grabving in mass. All knowledge and all books aren't important, plenty of below average intelligence ppl dropping slop long before ai became a thing. Any book that you value obviously already has tons of physical copies and digital backups.

This isn't them looting some ancient libraries/museums taking some hidden/secret knowledge from humanity like yall are making up in your heads.

My polisci teacher day 1 really hammered in that literally everything is political, that it is unavoidable, and all you do by avoiding politics is giving up your own agency when it comes to the things that you care about. It was 2017, so a lot of political apathy at the time, idk it reallly made it click that every single thing is poltical, based on it or decided by it.

Like not caring about politics is just not caring about how you live your life and giving up any control you have to others. People only realize when they lose something they care about like porn games lol
