(TikTok screencap)
No that's kinda dumb. A digital copy of the book can serve so many people compared to one physical copy of the book. You have issues with how datacenters are used to exclusively serve capital interests.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

No that's kinda dumb. Libraries do so much more for communities than house physical books, and at the same time those important historical paper records and books need to be stored somewhere public and accessible. Digital records can be altered. Digital books can be altered. Physical is crucial.
Good thing many libraries nowadays have both. Also libraries offer much more than just books. My local library offers cool classes/programs for kids in the summer.
Kinda ironic posting this on tiktok and lemmy where its hosted on a datacenter, but i digress.
I don't see how it's relevant, i'm not against neither but only for those that's build purely to process AI. But then i don't expect much from people to have nuanced take, so they use gotcha like this.
Downvote because TikTok is bad
