This dude stole 15,000 authors' books for his AI project. @AuthorsGuild needs to be looking into this immediately along with all the publishers affected.
but in the meantime, please send an email to benji@shaxpir.com with a link to your book, and I’ll remove it from the prosecraft website.

This is one of the most interesting free school lunch papers - when districts implement universal free school lunch, it puts competitive pressure on grocery stores, resulting in lower food prices for *everyone* even if they don't directly benefit from school lunches
