btw anthropic's internal document on this literally said "we don't want it to be known that we are working on this.” it was called project panama. here's exactly what happened: 1: anthropic concluded that books were the cheapest way to build a world-class model because they gave claude curated facts, structured arguments, compelling stories, and writing “an editor would approve of.” 2: once anthropic decided it needed books at enormous scale, its first solution was piracy. it downloaded 7m+ books from online libraries including libgen. the judge later wrote that although anthropic had legal ways to buy them, it chose piracy to avoid what dario amodei called the “legal/practice/business slog.” 3: that piracy created a massive legal risk. so in february 2024, anthropic hired tom turvey, the former head of partnerships for google books, to find a legally safer way of obtaining “all the books in the world.” 4: turvey first contacted major publishers about licensing their catalogs. those attempts didn’t produce agreements, so anthropic chose a route that required no publisher permission: buying millions of physical books through distributors and used-book retailers. 5: within about a year, anthropic spent tens of millions acquiring and scanning millions of books, including many rare and 1/1 titles. one vendor proposal targeted 500,000 to 2 million books in six months. 6: to scan that many books within months, the vendors physically dismantled them. a hydraulic cutter removed each spine. the pages were trimmed to size, fed as loose sheets through high-speed industrial scanners, and converted into searchable PDFs. the paper remains were then sent for recycling. 7: these PDFs were fed into claude as training data. the complete collection became a private, searchable anthropic library that the company planned to “store forever.” the scans aren’t available to the public and were never open-sourced.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're

It is obvious that a decision was made that, starting in 2015, Europe would switch to a sort of "industrial" immigration of non-whites. The numbers would be vast, the funding basically infinite, the media black-out (or white-wash) damn near total, and the process without end. The goal was simply: flood Europe with as many non-whites as possible, as fast as possible, and for as long as possible. We're now 11 years into the so-called "migrant crisis" and the numbers only seem to be increasing. I'm sure new methods are being invented constantly to hide those numbers. The end goal is very obviously to wipe out the European race, because that is the only long-term result of this. These people do not bring prosperity, or cultural enrichment, or wondrous new ideas. They bring us economic bankruptcy, cultural pollution, social dysfunction, and genetic extinction. Massive programmes need to be devised to transport all of them back to where they belong, or at any rate, far away from any White nation. Whatever that costs, it will be worth it.

This is Braintree, Essex, as 100 Channel migrants arrive in the town centre at taxpayer's expense. They come from the Wethersfield migrant camp & intimidate the locals, especially women & children. I think the man filming is @bb_media_uk. We're both there tomorrow at 11 am.

@theembercross @Andy_Toml @PriorMargaret @finnandoalonso not wanting to be around retarded criminals, the mentally ill & dangerous is not asking for much.

Funniest part of the Fuentes Hunter Biden interview is when Fuentes reiterates that Blacks commit most of the violent crime and Biden just lets out an exasperated “maybe… do we really have to talk about this?” Libs don’t even try to refute your claim anymore they just look at you like Brendan Fraser in The Whale.

The problem with this is that it’s not some kind of mystery who is committing most of the crime in the United States. This is the most basic, boring, indisputable fact about criminal justice in America. You don’t know anything about crime in America if you don’t know this. You don’t know anything about American social relations, suburbanization, racial polarization. You don’t know anything about American history. You don’t know anything about what’s motivating where people live, where they work, how they perceive cities. You don’t understand the US housing market, what motivates a large share of NIMBYism. You can’t not know this and be a serious person. And of course Hunter does know it. He’s just a member of a social movement that’s committed to obfuscating on this point. It’s not serious. It’s not honest. And it’s a real blocker to the “real conversation conversations about race” these people are always insisting we’ve never had.

Whites are naturally liberal when they’re left alone. Take a look at Europe + Eastern Canada. I myself was a liberal before being exposed to the diversity of Toronto (many alt-right people are from here btw)

Getting accused of 'white supremacy' for referring to 'Anglo-Saxon' countries. This endless nonsense is so very boring.

The left have only 2 ideas left to implement; 1) A wealth tax : which in their wildest dreams would raise enough to pay for 18 days of NHS spend. 2) Total censorship : so they can hide the torrent of evidence being weaponised by the right.

Our taxes were being used to fund free condoms for transgender prostitutes in Nepal?

In impoverished Nepal, where a conservative culture leaves openly transgender people with few legal job options, the impact on aid workers’ lives was particularly crushing. Starving and scared, around 100 LGBTQ+ aid workers left jobless by the funding cuts have turned to sex work

anon on /pol/ wonders why the entire right wing ignores Tucker Carlson's connections to the CIA and why Nick Fuentes is the only influencer who even mentions it.

@PriorMargaret @finnandoalonso Because I’ve been on a bus plenty of times, I choose not to use them nowadays. Are you not capable of using inference/context clues?

@PeterBakerMcfc @finnandoalonso I have a car like a normal person with a job

The fact that left wing discourse is centred around wealth taxes at a time when we pay billions in benefits to migrants and lose billions more in migrant fraud is proof that they're really only interested in tearing people down.

@TallNeil10 @TheHughAnthony This is genuinely an issue with using the bus, especially in urban areas.

@RupertLowe10 best way to stop these gangs which are connected to organised crime is to reduce the tax on tobacco. These stores sell fake tobacco from £3-6 and real tobacco (smuggled) from £6-10, as far as I’m familiar with. Most people are not going to pay the duty under these circumstances.

@RupertLowe10 Make tobacco cheaper.. this would crush the gangs instantly… I will carry on buying my tobacco illegally until the prices come down.. not likely.

When Jo Cox was murdered, the police announced *the day after* they were examining the suspect’s links to the far right and searching his home for extremist right-wing material. It was widely reported, no fear of contempt, prejudicing a trial, or quashing of political commentary.

Could I recommend you use some of the recent donations to take a short case on the law, with particular reference to contempt and the risks that can be posed to trial and conviction by media and political commentary? Or are you just a bit thick?
