Ages ago I had mimicked the "overhead scanner" with a mounted digital camera, but now I'd go with a mounted smartphone + light bars + bluetooth photo trigger. Scrolling through Bezos' was pretty depressing in terms of cost/quality and even a $150 device seemed like a repurposed webcam, with a sole non-free confirmed buyer saying it died after 3 months while freebies praise it lol. As long as you don't scan drawings/designs/comic books - just set lights evenly and that'd be enough, and even moreso if you OCR it and turn a scan into an e-book where visual fidelity stops to matter.

Have to learn that somehow, but hard paywalls make it impossible :/
Idk why they even need one, and the one so on the nose.
The symbol for Amazon's VGT3, the Las Vegas facility where it scans book for AI training data.

Blastbeat of millions of penguins stomping.
I find it amusing that they tried to automate it with variables, etc, but seemingly wanted to make LLM generate a new response every time. Standard once written or even generated rejection form could've been more economically sound. But, but - then you wouldn't up the metrics of AI usage in your department!
Other than that, probably it's a licensing agreement that makes AI trainers keep paying if they still using that dataset.
If the sheer incompetence would stay consistent, US companies would start to buy chinese vcards and maybe even their inventory of underpowered nvidias. The American way is to play bait and switch without even baiting. It is to poke own eyes out to win at poker.
The watermark was iStock printing going all over the face photo. It could mean two things: either I was a real celebrity, or. I didn't want to explore what this "or" could've ment, so I smiled in all of my 32 trying to come off as at least a niche celebrity.
At the time they were pretty useless though. Moreso than Meta's ones. Some hipsters from Silicon Valley bought it following the fad but then found they can't do anything with it.

Also, penguins don't grow on trees :b
Most who end up discovering rather obscure Fedi forums are someone else's tech person, especially for older relatives. I can see a disappearing wallpaper being a very serious issue for those not entirely sure how to bring it back.
