We have achieved Godot 5 internally at the Godot Foundation, but it is too powerful to be released. We need a bajillion dollars. Thanks 💸

A Microsoft executive called “an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions,” and the “largest theft of labor in human history.” An internal Microsoft document said generative AI products have created a “doom loop” that is killing “the entire web.” www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...

People also need to see this not just as an arcane concern for rare book enthusiasts or librarians or archivists or historians and other scholars, but as part of the destruction of the corpus of human endeavour necessary to bring about what Sam Altman says here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWqv...

The book arrived specifically at the northern part of the warehouse. This part runs a different operation: VGT3. Online, we found Amazon employees saying all they do here is scan and cut books. That's all this facility does. www.404media.co/we-tracked-a...

Finally, the rare book ended at LAS8, an Amazon warehouse. LAS8 is one of Amazon's print on demand facilities, where it prints books whenever someone orders one. But that's not all it does... www.404media.co/we-tracked-a...

How did we figure this out? With a bookseller source, we put an AirTag into a shipment of rare books. This started at an airport in California. Then it landed at an airport just outside Milwaukee www.404media.co/we-tracked-a...

New from 404 Media: we solved which AI company is buying massive shipments of rare books, scanning and destroying them to train AI. We put an Apple AirTag in a rare book, followed it. It ended up at an Amazon facility. Its logo is a dinosaur ripping through a book www.404media.co/we-tracked-a...

Staff does a job well to make a company worth 55b but then post sale is too much so they need to make cutbacks so the staff are let go. I will never understand the economics at play when you’re super important to wealth making till you’re not.

Question: Please provide any additional comments or recommendations you may have regarding AI, technological innovation, or the needs of the cultural sector. 
Answer: Please use this money to support the real human beings creating arts and culture instead of forcing adoption of ill-understood, environmentally-catastrophic technology.

companies are sourcing millions of printed books for AI labs that scan them for training data, then destroy them. printed books are more valuable because they're free of AI slop, and AI labs know destroying them is an "optics problem." www.404media.co/ai-companies...
