I wonder if an AI company will quietly buy and scan.
- petesergeant 1y agoScanning non-destructively is much more expensive than scanning destructively, and arguably first editions of books and obscure and old books provide inferior training material than to newer versions. Easier to just bulk-buy 2nd hand books by weight.
- Cthulhu_ 1y agoGoogle has been scanning books for just over two decades now, and likely has used their scans to train their AI. I wonder what percentage of this collection hasn't been digitized elsewhere yet.
