Thanks to Sascha Pallenberg 🇹🇼 ♻️ ⚡ (npub193m…meyt) I just heard the very first time of destructive scanning of books.
Wow, that's horrible. AI Companies try to buy all old books from antiquarian bookshops and scan them destructive.
Not because there's no other way to do so but to destroy all books on purpose and being the only ones that hold the content of these old books now.
That's something that brings me up against AI.
