Re Books….that is a tragedy…..one is surprised to see anyone could be that callous, or stupid.

That said I have just ordered a Starlink web system and as in most companies the first contact is an AI machine…except this is like nothing you have ever spoken to, it is another entity to chat to, you can interrupt, change the conversation mid sentence and it behaves just like a human, giving answers immediately, with not the slightest hesitation, it welcomes you as a valued client and ends the conversation perfectly.

It is shockingly good…..yes AI may be a bubble but life will never be the same again……and what a slick Co Starlink is.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they’re free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain “all the books in the world.”

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb’s website literally says “‘AI company destroys two million books’ is not a headline that generates sympathy,” and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it “digital preservation.”

Well, no sh*t. If you estimate revenues at $75 an ounce and you don’t adjust them down with the metal price, then yeah, they’re going to effing miss. That’s why the stock has been crushed. But they sell it today anyway with silver up and the dollar getting spanked.

What a country.

yesterday’s losses wiped out by the open. So good.

PM’s can barely get out of their own way.

At least at the open we’re going to get a post Fed meeting rally in the SM, which is usually the norm. Whether they can hold it might be another question.

Looks like the pm sector will be allowed to participate unless things go south.

The dollar is continuing down from yesterday, and now down almost 1% since the announcement. Course pm’s aren’t getting nearly the bounce they should be.

Another day.

I don’t like giving advice so what I would do is get the heck out while your ahead less you know of any plans they have for making money. It only went up because it did a reverse split limiting shares thats all. Unless something happen they are going to make money the general pattern of these reverse splits it that they go back down.

Thanks for the charts! I’m ready for the turn!

Now Now the situation is just “temporarily hopeless!” 🙂

I hope there’s hell just so Fauci can reside there. If anyone deserves it!

The Fed doesn’t often let the market fall the day after a meeting, so they could send in the PPT. We might catch a bounce.

As always though they took out so much buying energy today. Might be hard to find more after burning every new buyer today. The dollar may rally back too.

Tough game for pm’s.

If not, they’ll do it in the AH.

What a country, as the dollar is hammered.

Ha! They came within 11 cents. Nice work boys!
