Journalists hid an Airtag in a rare book shipment and confirmed Amazon to be one of the buyers behind the bulk orders destroying rare-books to feed their AI.

They tracked it to Amazon's LAS8 warehouse in Las Vegas, home to VGT3 (see logo below), a scanning operation feeding Amazon's AI training data, where workers say they cut the bindings off books to scan them faster.

Amazon won't say why the books are destroyed. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/3ef9e69b4cf2728d60f0ecbdd4b5104cf8d6c11d152c20d0ad5492fe758d0cc4.jpeg
