Summary
They didn’t burn the books—they consumed them. In this episode, we explore how Anthropic and others are scanning and destroying millions of books to train AI—and what that means for the future of knowledge. As ideas move from pages into systems, ownership shifts to access, and truth becomes something we’re given—not verified. If knowledge lives behind platforms… who really controls it? 🔥 Sponsored By: ☕ Strong Coffee Company — Protein-packed coffee for energy & clarity Code: VANCRUX1 (20% off) https://www.strongcoffeecompany.com 💊 More Labs — Clinically proven hydration & recovery drinks Code: VANCRUX1 (25% off) https://www.morelabs.com 🍬 LiQure Gummies — Electrolytes + vitamins for hangover prevention & recovery Code: VANCRUX1 (20% off) https://www.liqure.com 🔥 Useful Links: 📘 Become a Person of Value by J.S.
