Sorry, what now? How to go from evil to dark lord all the while saying, 'but what did I do?' Put simply, AI companies funded by billions in debt are buying used books so they can destroy them. All used books. So neither you nor competitors can buy them. futurism.com/artificial-i...

AI Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almost No Copies Remain

We have in this country now a system that drives powerful men evil and evil men to power. Perhaps, sometime in the next 250, under the absurd premise that the country will survive intact so long, we will evolve to constrain the powerful in service and the evil in jail.

So, how do you clean a reflecting pool covered in dond scum? Do you just scoop out the scrump and bleach? Add a more democratic filter so more dond scrump doesn't get in?

This quote from Mr. Beaver seems more prescient every day. "But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that's going to be human and isn't yet, or used to be human once and isn't now, or ought to be human and isn't, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet."
