Destroying books at any time - let alone when they are the very containers of the knowledge your company depends on - is a DISGUSTING thing to do.

I hope we reach the LLM IQ asymptote and Anthropic et al. go bust ASAP.

DISGUSTING.

Calm down, I know that "destroy" and "books" doesn't sound well in the same sentence, but millions of books are destroyed and recycled every year. We have a right aversion to destroying all copies of books, especially "important" ones and with the purpose of preventing their diffusion, not to destroying individual copies. A single copy of a book has little value unless it's rare or antique.
