One thing I always wondered ...
There used to be libgen. Then it went down. It went semi-back up but ...
it is still kind of down.
Those issues kind of coincided with the big greedy mega-corporations
leeching off data en masse; Anthropic was not the only one, Facebook
is another example here. I always wondered whether the decline in quality,
fewer liberated books published, coincided with what the big corporations
were doing. Would be great to be able to see any underlying strategy here.
Imagine Anthropic, just as a scenario, leeching off of everyone else,
and then also sending in their lawyers to try to close down what they
leeched off here. I mean the rise of bots kind of coincides with the
rise of AI. So why not them also trying to make it harder for the rest of
the world to access liberated books.
