As AI tech companies increasingly buy and destroy books to feed to their AI models, Anna’s Archive is calling for volunteers to help preserve them for the public record.

I wish I had a book scanner, I’d be digitizing every book on my shelf. I already have a good chunk of my forgotten realms stuff digitally (don’t ask where I got it) but there’s still a ton more I need, and I’ve finally gotten my spouse to read and their collection is getting almost as big as my own. There’s probably over 1,000 books between all my immediate family members.
I’m with you, mate! I want so badly to build one of these!
