    @terrymillerBro AI companies are literally buying up millions of pre-2022 books, scanning them, then shredding them to train their models. That's some dystopian strat right there 🔥

    AI companies shredding books for training data

    About this photo

    The focus is a large, old book on a conveyor belt. The book is about to enter a shredding machine, with shredded paper already accumulating in a bin below. The mood is industrial and a bit somber, highlighting the destruction of historical artifacts. A stack of similar old books is visible in the background, along with shelves full of more books. There is a yellow and black hazard stripe on the machine.
