genAI companies are now buying up rare and antique books so they can scan them and use them to train their AI. then they're destroying the books afterward.

AI Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almos

AI companies are quietly obtaining rare books, ingesting their contents, and then destroying them -- even if they're exceedingly rare.

they've had to face settlements against stealing from current authors, so they'll just go for the old books now. they're also doing this so they have the only copies of rare books.

they're taking water, power, natural resources for their data centers. they steal. they're book burning, essentially. i'm just so angry, i'm at a loss right now.

From the article:

"One small book seller said that in April, he suddenly went from selling no more than 20 books a week to hundreds, and he’s almost certain that the customers are AI labs, noting the random selection of the books and how they all have ISBNs. He added that his inventory is full with rare and out of print books, meaning that an AI company could be destroying some of the few remaining copies that can be found.

“I personally have mixed feelings about all of this,” the bookseller told 404. “It benefits me financially as well as by clearing out old inventory that is otherwise unlikely to sell. I’ve been well-suited for these sales with inventory from overseas and foreign language books.

From a Google search:

PISBN allows publishers, retailers, and libraries to track and manage books more efficiently. Each ISBN corresponds to one specific edition of a publication, making it essential for smooth global circulation.

We need more alleged luigis now

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.

Not a question but I love the way you (the artist) represent the idea of interspecies pokemon, it's always been a very interesting topic that I think about on occasion, though I had only really thought about the interbreeding of regional forms (ie dark/ghost half hisuian halfunovan zorua) but the use of two pokemon within an evolutionary line (Jolteon and Umbreon)? WONDERFUL!!!!

Thank you for enlightening me.

// Gonna reply to this while I work on the reply to other asks (sorry guys I'm slow af LOL)

Thank you so so much for the compliment!! I actually used to do a few actual hybrid blogs (probably like 7-8 years ago) like a Luxtra x Reshiram?? but never before considered doing... well, this? Dont even ask me how this happened, I legit just thought of tortie/harlequin cats but as an eeveelution? In theory it couldve hit any eeveelution since I love them all but in the end Umbreon and Jolteon just worked together best! This design is actually a redesigned version of the Jolbreon I made like 1 and a half years ago LOL

Just dropping this here for your viewing purposes!

[molabuddy]

The Steam page may also only exist if you see it:

Quick question, aren't muses the ones that inspire you to create art/poetry/story/music?

If so, then either they don't know a single thing about what a muse is (wouldn't surprise me) or they made it so there's a weird reverse psychology where they basically inspire people to create because they wanna be better than ai (would surprise me that they planned that).
