destroying books to train AI while world burns: the most on-brand dystopia

Someone discovered that AI companies are literally purchasing and obliterating antique books for training data, then posted about it with the energy of someone laughing at the void. The follow-up dismissal of dystopian fiction as a genre is the cherry on top—reality has out-grimdark'd every sci-fi warning we had. It's the kind of unhinged-but-accurate observation that makes you question whether we're living in satire or just experiencing collective brain rot.
