Oh, that's really interesting, I'd love to see the list of books that they've digitized too. Where did you find it?

follow the discussion around this on X, i think just a few minutes of research on this topic / reading past the headline you'll find out that this is pretty much a nothingburger

No, what I mean is that I want to know how to figure out what books they are digitizing so I will know what they're trying to improve their models on.

I didn't realize that the list of books was published somewhere, so that you know with confidence what they're adding to the collection.

How do I browse the list you're using for tracking this?

It is interesting to know! My assumption would be it's technical or scientific publications, maybe things like the Springer back catalog (assuming they've not already licensed these). Some of these are "rare" as in they are essentially published PHD theses with very little in the way of sales / print runs.

Of course I could be wrong and they are destroying 14th century monastic scrolls or out of print Mills & Boon editions.
