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.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

I love how tech companies are allow to change agreements. "We're making changes to our agreements" and you have to agree OR stop using all the tech that you paid for and has all your info and files etc. Also subscriptions instead of owning things. Adobe locked people in, now costs 700+ each year.

Spent three days trying to write the most fucked up palindrome sentence possible. Behold: A sorry tramp art I, torn mad on urine’s ire—vile nob stink—tired da’ adder—it knits bone live risen, I run, O damn rot, I trap Martyr Rosa

Don't fall for this. Rowling wants trans people to self censor and to stop sharing the report. If this report really was as defamatory as she claims, she wouldn't be cheering on its spread. What she really wants is a costly settlement from AI UK, humiliating apology, and permanent silence.

​A screenshot of a thread on X (formerly Twitter). The main post is a quote tweet by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling), which reads: ​"Shout out to all trans activists sharing the blacklist of women's and gay rights organisations published by @AmnestyUK! You're demonstrating very effectively that in spite of their hasty backtrack it can be easily accessed forevermore, increasing legal liability. Thank you! ❤️" ​Rowling is quote-tweeting a user named Lesbian Lenin 🇵🇸 🔻 🇵🇸 (@xstaffsuck), whose post reads: ​"The report btw, documenting how TERF orgs work hand in hand w/ anti-abortionists, christian nationalists, & anti-LGBT+ (yes, you too, c*s queers!) orgs to push trans genocide ​To be anti-trans is to be anti-abortion, is to be a christian nazi, is to be anti-queer ​Report is below" ​The user @xstaffsuck is, in turn, quoting an earlier tweet from J.K. Rowling, which reads: ​"Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org"

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

AEW has more good matches booked for Dynamite (6) than WWE does (5) for their ppvs. AEW's entire strategy is "lots of great wrestling" & WWE seems to have no counter because "produce better content" is too much work.
