    Don’t they have robots to scan books that don’t require destruction? I’m all for scanning books for lots of reasons, but destroying them in the process seems unnecessary.

      Yeah, but that would be slower. And of course everyone knows LLMs are going to solve all the world’s problems, so anything that would slow down their development is causing untold harm to people who you could have saved if you’d just ignored all other concerns and put all resources into training LLMs.

      In case it was not obvious this is sarcasm

        Well you started out with something that is likely true since I’m assuming that’s why they destroy the books in the first place to make it easier and faster to scan. But then you went off the rails with clanker propaganda so I was understandably confused for a split second 🤣
