00:00Y'all this has got to be talked about okay so AI companies are purchasing physical books in bulk
00:06especially rare and out of print titles and then putting them into their machines and ripping off
00:12the spines and destroying them. Apparently this has been ruled fair use by judges and so this is
00:20pretty alarming because this happening means that titles that you otherwise would not be able to
00:28find are no longer going to be in existence and it's essentially a modern-day library of Alexandria
00:36burning. It is extremely important that you really take this seriously and I say this as an author
00:45and a person who really appreciates literature and reading. Go to estate sales, buy up books,
00:52hoard them like they are gold because this is the equivalent of digital book burning and
01:02once these titles are gone whatever remains in private collections
01:08you
01:08And I'll see you next time.
