Aberystwyth University closed one of its campuses a few years ago. The place has been left to rot, but recently they’ve started clearing the place out, and removing all the old scientific textbooks. Most of them look untouched. Wonder how much this lot would have set students back if buying new.
Someone should rescue all those books and ~~donate them to a good cause~~ destructively scan them to feed AI models
That's honestly a good use case for out of date textbook which knowledge is not useful anymore.
Wouldn't that potentially poison the well with potentially outdated or incorrect information?
If it returns Pluto to its rightful status as a planet, I'll allow it
Isn't that the point?
Can I toss a book of lewd poetry about chili in there first?
Would be better than letting them get rained on and thrown away
