Doing a major rebranding of my SFW account here. I'm Goops here now! Had to fix their design a bit so they're not showing too much skin, but yeah I totally vibe with them more.

Something I learned recently is that the CD-i isn't really the name of the device itself, but rather it's the name *of* the format they run on. It's part of the "Rainbow Books" standard that all CDs follow, like Red Book for a music CD and Orange Book for CD-R and CD-RW. The CD-i is the Green Book.

A Wikipedia article discussing the Rainbow Books, and the example image (right) is of the Green Book standard that CD-i follows.A photograph of a portable Philips CDi player playing Link: The Faces of Evil.

This is NOT about preservation. They are only doing this to harvest pre 2020's books to use for more training data. They have chosen this method that DESTROYS the book on purpose, because it is faster and cheaper. They know time is limited before society and the bubble catches up with them.

Internet Archive At the internet Archive, this is how to digitize a book. We never Destroy a book by cutting off its binding. Instead, we digitize it the hard way -- one page at a time.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
