horrible!
Exclusive: A rare bookseller suspected his books were being bought by AI companies. He stuck an AirTag in a book and we tracked it to a secretive Amazon facility in Las Vegas where they scan and destroy books called VGT3:

I just want to say a big thanks for those who followed me. If you post in a language I don't know, even though I love your pictures, I probably won't follow you back. But I wish you well!
