SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

"I refuse to use generative AI" is not censorship. It's not fascism. It's not restricting you in ANY WAY. It's not banning you from using it. If your tool is so shitty that unless I also use it, you're being negatively impacted, your tool is religion.
