And these suits are different in that they're focusing on the features of the app, not necessarily the content.
within it.
Uh that's what worked in New Mexico and we're gonna see if that works in California as well.
Moving on, it's a good day to be a used book salesman and a bad day to be a used book.
That's because secondhand book sales are soaring, but the purchases are large bulk orders made by mystery buyers.
And it's recently come to light that some of these anonymous nerds are actually AI companies, which are reportedly using the physical books to train their models.
So why is this happening?
In 2024, a group of authors sued generative AI company Anthropocal.
For copyright infringement, claiming that their works were used illegally to train its AI models.
While the AI giant did have to pay $1.5 billion in settlement to more than 300,000 authors who filed a claim, the judge in the case determined that if the company paid for the books, then it is not illegal to train AI models using the texts.
This has created a market for cheaper books, sending companies to buy as many used books as they can get their hands on.
Once these AI companies get access to the physical books, they may engage in a process called destructive scanning.
These books' spines get removed so individual pages can scan more quickly and fed into LLM's training data.
After the pages have been scanned, they are tossed.
Neil, it seems like the tech that brought us Fruit Love Island is now looking for obscure texts to ingest.
Yeah, and it's true.
Uh Anthropic confirmed in legal filings that they've been buying up books in what they're calling Project Panama, in an effort to, quote, destructively scan all the books in the world, which is quite ambitious, if you ask me.
Um, but a lot of the outrage online from this came from individuals protesting the destruction of rare or obscure books.
Um, the question here that the Atlantic investigated is are they actually destroying rare books?
books or is it just old books that nobody really wants?
