#4Yay capitalism! Imagine how much value is being created for shareholders by this destruction! Another example of "great work" being done!
Jokes aside, I don't know what I would do in this situation either. Maybe find a way to mark "rare" or "out of print" books and sell/auction the "pages"? Or make the scanned book available via some mechanism?

#5Forever preserving the content of a rare book by consuming one (1) copy is the kind of thing we should always be doing more of.
Roughly nobody would have had access to that copy. Roughly everyone can now benefit from its content.

#7Nowhere are the supposed rare books listed.
Confuses "(not all that) old books" with "rare books".
Ragebait, nothing more.

Where can I read any of these destroyed copies from anthropic?
