yep - if these were only scanning books & end there then most people wouldn't have complaints.
but nah they're destroying very rare, out of print books in the process.
then after - when you ask their stochastic parrot some fringe question it won't answer cz of 'safety'. when literally one could buy a book and find the answer.
- mag7269 2mo ago“Very rare, out of print books…” Horsepoop. 99% of the books they are doing this to are the like of “The Guide to Memphis 1971,” or “How to Use Lotus Organizer for IBM OS/2: For Beginners (1999).” Don’t be a Luddite for the sake of being “edgy.”
- dghlsakjg 2mo agoIt doesn’t matter what percentage of the books aren’t rare, it matters what percentage of rare books are getting shredded. As an aside, a lot of old things like “Memphis guide” are useful to a variety of researchers. Hopefully someone will leak these archives so at least the knowledge isn’t lost.
