Millions of books got scanned for AI training, then discarded. The real question isn't legal, it's civilizational. Will Lucas on the difference between information and history, why AI only knows what survived, and what we're letting disappear because we assumed somebody else would save it. He also has a new book out, Survive and Advance: Lessons on Living a Life Without Compromise, which is available now.
