You can buy books by the truckload for almost nothing because nobody wants them.
Ex-wife and I had a room in the trailer house dedicated to books, one might have even called it a library. Seriously, cheap bookshelves, all 4 walls, stuffed. Now I have a stack on a small shelf.
Just can’t use books anymore. I can choose any of 1,000 epubs on my crappy Android tablet, read in the dark.
Fucking tech bro’s
Can’t they all just go to space and leave the rest of us alone
Because they want earth. The poors are the ones going to space to work the mines, I’m sure of it. Not sure why anyone thinks they’re the ones going to space to live.
Anything mined in space will be used in space. But you can build orbital colonies that are nice. You just need lots of mass to build stuff and have plenty of water and be big enough to rotate.
And meta just pirated them directly from libgen, big fucking deal, copywright law needs to die.
im guessing based on how much of my own library anthropic tries to scan they probably also got a lot more content from the open web anyway and just destroyed the books to make a show of it and hope no one sues them after.
You dont need to unbind or destroy books to scan them and destroying them doesnt magically make reproducing bits or copies suddenly not plagerism.
