@feld reminder that the book isn't widely available already because of copyright, not because of ai companies

@sun yeah I pointed that out the other day. Turns out these "rare" books are new books that just had short print runs and the rights holders won't print more

@feld @sun Wouldn't the fact that the books are copywritten at all imply that none of them are important rare relics of history? If they were old they would be public domain. I'm not particularly concerned about the typhoon of human generated slop that dominate modern "literature".
