Some AI bro made a huge order (200+ €) of rare italian books at full price with the purpose of destroying them in order to train some model
In the beginning he was puzzled why some american would want to spend hundreds of dollars to import discontinued books on mostly religious topics (a real human would never buy this stuff, it’s ultraniche and expensive), then we connected the dots.
The coincidence is 1 day before the order he got a message from zoom books and he ignored it
Coincidence? lol!
Your logic is quite unfollowable.
Zoom books https://zoombooks.ca/ is exactly what they say it is.
So a large and legitimate book seller that emphasizes empowering readers is ignored as suspicion by you all? Why not first do your research?
Then someone purchases books from you all and you complain on Lemmy without first doing any research? You half dox them and also consider sending them fake books.
Your post and this comment seem to imply Religious Studies as a field doesn’t exist, people cannot be interested in reading about religion, and other book sellers cannot exist.
What nonsense!
Yes because there is actual people that really want to read “Advent and Christmas 2022–2023. Liturgical Pastoral Resource” and not the 2026-2027.
Oh, coincidence again, it meets the LLM cutoff date
I think you think your reply proves your point but it really doesn’t.
