Is this a second form of AI psychosis, as in AI training corpus psychosis?

The need for all the content, Moar!! Feed me. Is this the Paperclip Maximiser in the form of the Training Material Maximiser?

Will it be that, in the end, the lack of "Pass Your Driving Test, 2018 Edition" was the cause of driving rule hallucinations in all previous models? Will this finally get OpenAI back in front of Anthropic? Hurrah! We found it!

"MOAR input!!!"

- Johnny 5, Short Circuit. That was a great film. Seems it was unexpectedly prescient too.

As a teenager I remember I was amazed at the speed at which Johnny 5 would consume that book.

I was thinking the inverse the psychosis is that someone who sells books is alerted that they are selling more books, as if someone buying books needs to give an explanation. If I want to seed software with books why is that newsworthy? Print more books, maintain profitable margins on books, enjoy success as a book seller?

If a book is rare and you wanted to preserve it don't sell it so easily, increase the price, or put it into a contract system like Ferrari does with cars they sell.

Till it hits books that are out of print, we already had news about AI scourge companies destroying rare books coz scanning them in destructive ways was slightly cheaper.

And as is happens in history, any time some entity mass destroys the books, they turn out to be bad guys

But anyone can mistreat or fail to care for a book, if it's rare and you don't want to risk it don't sell it.

There's a very simple solution to this, but the people who rabidly argue for a copyright length of 70 years + the lifetime of the author won't want to hear it.

Your local school throws away books by the dumpster load once a year or every other year.
