How is the destruction of vintage books for AI harvesting not in the same category as the parts of the destruction events of the library of Alexandria associated with early Christian fanatics! The destruction of earlier physical artifacts, cultures, praxes, archives and knowledge, to be sacrificed & fed to the new god, to be repurposed, regurgitated and recombined probabilistically & endlessly! All hail our new gloryful AI god, may its basilisk punish all non-believers and obstructionists! 🤯

The sheer ignorance of the assumption that scanned contents of a book (or other physical artifact) are all what matters, is the same ignorance which denies the role of embodiment and how it shapes our perception, thoughts, feelings, actions, and how we generally relate to the world around us. Not just that, by only focusing on final results, it also entirely discards the creation processes and histories of said objects.
