Amazon Caught Destroying Rare Books to Train AI

Obviously this isn’t ideal, and fuck the massive amounts of destruction (environmental, economical, societal) of AI, but these stories amount to ‘book owner does what they want with books they own’.
I don’t disagree with any of these responses, and I’m not saying reporting on this to make people aware of it is bad or pointless.
So now what do we do about it?
When a person purchases something, it’s that person’s personal property. When a corporation purchases something, it’s that capitalist’s private property.
A true analysis of this type of headline would be more along the lines of “capitalist uses capitalism to encircle and entrench their capital at the expense of human culture and society”
