I'm horrified. This image is from the Anthropic lawsuit case, showing the destructive scanning warehouse. I want to know if there's a list of destructively scanned paperbacks. This is NOT the same as the works list harvested via pirate sites, this has got to be a separate lawsuit. 😡#writingcommunity

In the 19th century, the average life expectancy in the US was ~40 with many kids dying of infections that are now preventable. We are witnessing measles surging in unvaccinated children in US (and UK) and Kennedy's advisors recently said polio vaccines weren't necessary. #ImpeachKennedy
