Podcast: Amazon is Destroying Rare Books to Train AI

404 Media podcast covers Amazon buying and destroying rare books for AI training, AI misuse in court cases, and Meta's glasses patent.

404 Media's podcast discusses its investigation tracing a shipment of rare books to an Amazon AI training facility where they were destroyed, alongside reporting on AI misuse in courts: an expert witness who used ChatGPT to write a report defending 3M in a deadly explosion lawsuit, and a prompt injection hidden in a legal filing instructing AI to side with one party. It also covers Meta's new patent for AI smart glasses with facial recognition and research into the glasses being used to harass women.

How to opt out of AI chatbot training

Malwarebytes guides users through disabling AI training use of chats in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude after OpenAI's human review program emerged.

404 Media reported that OpenAI's 'Project Lily' hires hundreds of contractors to review ChatGPT prompts, with a 'Privacy Filter' removing personal data and usernames hidden, though user memories summaries can still reveal identifying details. The article provides opt-out steps: ChatGPT Settings > Data Controls > 'Improve the model for everyone' (on by default), Perplexity Settings > Preferences > AI data retention, and Claude Settings > Privacy > 'Help Improve our AI Models'. Opting out does not prevent all human access, which remains allowed for abuse investigation, support, troubleshooting, and legal matters.

After warning AI is too dangerous, Bill Gates bets a billion on its upside

Gates Foundation pledges at least $1 billion over two years to widen AI access in health, education and agriculture, warning of a rich-poor divide.

The Gates Foundation's 2026 Goalkeepers report outlines spending of at least $1 billion over two years on AI access in health, education and farming. Gates notes over 90% of early LLM training data was English, with speech recognition error rates below 6% in English but above 60% in Yoruba. Cited projects include Penda Health clinics in Kenya (16-point diagnostic accuracy gain), Gemini Guided Learning in Sierra Leone (1.7 years of learning gains in eight weeks), and India's MahaVISTAAR reaching 740,000+ farmers at under 18 cents per person.

Big Tech’s AI safety rift signals disruption and disparity for enterprises

Diverging AI safety stances among major labs will make frontier model access less predictable, pushing enterprises toward routing layers and independent validation.

A public rift among leading AI labs over safety approaches - Meta's Zuckerberg backing neutral evaluators, Dario Amodei urging a slower pace, and Sam Altman calling for collaboration on standards - is creating operational challenges for enterprise IT. Analysts from Gartner and others say divergent vendor release schedules, access tiers, and regional restrictions will make frontier model access less predictable, effectively treating frontier AI as a managed supply with pricing premiums. Recommendations include routing layers between applications and providers, contractual deprecation terms, and independent validation of models before production use.

Clay Mathematics Institute says the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem has "apparently been settled"

Clay Mathematics Institute says the Navier-Stokes Millennium Problem appears settled amid accusations OpenAI misused a mathematician's leaked drafts.

The Clay Mathematics Institute stated the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of seven problems worth $1 million each, has 'apparently been settled' and the solution is under review. A dispute has erupted around the work: mathematician Tristan Buckmaster accuses OpenAI of redirecting resources to the problem after rumors of his research leaked, using his drafts in training data, and excluding co-author Levent Alpöge, who works at Anthropic. CMI also noted new technologies' increasing ability to accelerate mathematical research.
