As soon as they go public it will be lets maximise shareholder value. It is horrifying how much power these private companies have these days and how evil they have become. Morals basically don't exist with them and their are no consequences. This is why I don't like AI though it does improve programming by leaps that even people who don't know how to code can make a fully working application. If the trend continues and people depend on AI for programming these companies will have big influence over the world, look at what happened with the international court, they depended too much on US technology.

There needs to be regulations on AI and people still need to learn programming even if you depend on AI for most task. We can't give these companies our ability to program too.

My mistake I meant Oligopoly.

It is important because AI is an Oligopoly, you can't locally host a model like Claude. They also claim they are ethical and avoid harm. His wife is an Advisor for Anthropic.

Lots of people associated with Epstein appeared in News articles. Simply put no one even knew she was Dario Amodei's wife that is why she is only appearing now in the news.

This email is from 2012, Epstein was registered as a sex offender since 2008. She approached him for a Luxury Porn company.

Don't forget that when you use LLMs you are helping these types of people:

Cami Clark—who started what she called a ‘revolutionary porn company’ where she sought investment from Jeffrey Epstein—keeps a low profile but is a key adviser to the AI chief. Its coming IPO could top trillions.

I also wanted to know what the rare books are and this is what I Found:

I also heard that they are also scanning old outdated medical books.

So are not really aiming for rare, they are just gathering at random and getting their hands on any old book they can find. Some rare books might or might not be in the books they scan.

This article might give some clues about the types of books: https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/technology/arid-41897035.html

This is what I believe they are doing:

_**The owner of MW Books in Ireland also reports that since May, the shop has been receiving large orders with wildly varied content. "The orders are piecemeal, presumably machine-driven, and there's very little thematic rhyme or reason to them: everything from 18th-century African agricultural implements to biographies of 1950s racing drivers," he says. "Personally, I don't think we have the right to dictate what customers do with books after they buy them, but the selection is certainly intriguing."

Another anonymous UK used bookseller reveals that some seemingly random orders, possibly from different buyers, all end up being shipped to the same address. He provided a delivery postcode used by different buyers, which corresponds to a cluster of freight warehouses near London Heathrow Airport. The bookseller says that since January, he has received orders covering 6,000 books from similar buyers, amounting to thousands of pounds. These buyers are willing to pay "top prices" and haven't asked for discounts even when purchasing large quantities at once. "That doesn't happen very often. It's disruptive to the used book trade."**_

They are probably buying books that don't have any digital copies since they are perfect for training AI. As for why they are using destructive scanning, I believe it is because either destructive is cheaper and faster or they don't want the competition to have access to the training data. Since these are not easy to find books, Amazon sells books, any book they try to obtain is probably extremely hard to find anywhere.

AI is useful as tool like he said, unfortunately these days in many organisations it is used as a replacement rather than a tool.

His conclusion was that as AI tools get more capable, the people who actually understand how systems work become more valuable, not less — because someone still has to review, maintain, and take responsibility for what the tools produce.

Humans still need to learn how to code.
