All bots are functional, except for the latest public bot, which has been affected by the new copyright wave. You just need to look through comments to this message or do a quick search on Telegram to find any of the working bots or visit the Library STC site (links can be found in groups and in live bots). Thanks to all those people who have created more than 1200 working copies of the bot during the last year.
In the meantime, you can write words of gratitude to our friends Ass Chand Publishing, who sends copyright claims on their low-quality shitty books. Their addresses, emails, and phone numbers are available on their site.
P.S Join our groups, we are working on Iroh P2P replication for truly independent distribution of papers as well as building our own LLM for books and papers.

🤖 AI 2024
The march of AI cannot be halted given today's global climate — a period of rivalry, separation, and noncooperation between nations that pose risks to both civilization and Earth itself. Recognizing AI's significance, stakeholders seek further funding.
AI is penetrating our lives and the question is how should we regulate and develop it? Will we end up in a world like Dune's, where AI is prohibited everywhere, or will a viable solution be found? May it worth to consider AI as something familiar, like nuclear weapon, and regulate the same way?
The difference in AI's distribution in comparision with nuclear weapon's distribution is that many private entities already have an access to AI, and AI is the thing that may impact our lives even more than nuclear energy. It seems we are in uncharted territory where many persons are owning Infinity Gauntlets. We have never been in such social and technological conditions, so there are no known solutions.
One possibility would be the strict regulation of AI, making it available only to states and regulating access to AI technology for companies and individuals. Another approach would be deregulation and efforts to democratize access to AI technologies. What exactly should be changed for making the last approach possible?
The AI nowadays is based on advances in microprocessors, computer science researches, and expanding electronic data availability. AI is literally fed by the data created by humanity throughout its history, but this data may legally fruit only for those who "own" it through copyright means or by "stealing", which is also a consequence of copyright. While ones can allow to spend billions of dollars to hiddenly buy datasets of Reddit articles, LinkedIn pages and browser profiles (I know what I'm speaking about) to train AI models and use them in search, others are prosecuted for distributing the socially important data for free. Right now the copyright is becoming the largest wall that separates the richest enterprises and everyone else.
Sustainable development of AI requires the development of free, reliable and equally accessible infratructure for distributing written art. Such infrastructure may be used for AI training and AI-enhanced search by any participant and should be based on the approaches that would prevent any attempts to restrict access for any side. It includes not just shadow libraries which have to play the role of worldwide storages, but systems for managing metadata of scholar works, machine readable formats for all writings and publishing approaches free of the capitalistic poison and unneeded scientometric race between scholars.
That is what we have been researching and doing in Nexus all this time, no matter of unjust laws or copyright pressure. That is why we want you to spread these ideas - equal and free access is not a piracy toy now but a powerful tool to stay alive for our kind.
P.S. Had no time to say it before - thanks for all uploaders, all developers, all peers, all moderators.

⚡️️ Books Uploads
Nexus has a file uploader named Aaron for sharing papers using their DOI, with the Crossref database as a source for titles, abstracts, etc.
We have just started testing to expand the capability to upload any books, not limited to those with DOIs. To achieve this, we leveraged data from the WorldCat database. Users can now input the ISBN of a book into the bot, which will retrieve the book data from WorldCat and prompt the user to request the book. These requests will be directed to Aaron uploaders who can fulfill user demands. While this method doesn't support uploading all types of content, it significantly streamlines the process in 99% of cases where the book has a valid ISBN and is listed in WorldCat. All uploaded books will be available through our Iroh replication that is also in testing right now.
We invite uploaders to join our #freetalks chat and engage with Aaron as we work towards liberation of all writing arts.

🎐 Data-Intensive Atmosphere 🎐
The life on Earth underwent a rapid increase in diversity and complexity once in its history, during an event known as the Cambrian explosion. Around 538 million years ago, this crucial period marked the rapid emergence of complex life and the appearance of most modern metazoan phyla. Lasting millions years, this event had led to a significant diversification in various organism groups.
One possible reason for the Cambrian explosion was the gradual introduction of free oxygen into Earth's earliest atmosphere by photosynthesizing cyanobacteria. Oxygen levels in the atmosphere rose gradually over billions of years, becoming significant around 800 million years ago and in the end it allowed for the growth of larger, more complex animals.
So, a small shift in oxygen levels allowed living beings to gain more energy from the environment, develop more complex bodies and neural systems, and eventually had led to the appearance of the human mind - very energy consuming organ. This shift was just one of many environmental changes but it made big things possible.
The question is there anything similar in the world around us right now? Yes! The development of modern artificial minds relies heavily on the "oxygen" of the 21st century: data. The blood and vessels of modern informational systems are books, papers, videos and Internet pages. They shape artificial neural networks, allowing them to see the world and gain powers that were not available to any living being before, the same way as oxygen had allowed our ancestrals to develop more advanced bodies during Cambrian explosion.
Just imagine if oxygen during the Cambrian explosion had been non-free, or if the efforts of cyanobacteria had been monetized to the degree that any oxygen-consumer would be imprisoned for illegal inhaling. Where would we end our path of evolving?
Our age can be characterized from different perspectives, such as the age of wars, the end of the good old world, the age of global warming, or the age of epidemics. However, we can also see it as the age of knowledge explosion - the age of free data flow that is making it possible to grow unbelievably complex mind forms that will shape our future for centuries.
Free libraries and archivists are those who make it possible for these mind forms to develop and prevent us from choking on the eagerness of those funny beings who think that oxygen must be paid.

🩸 STC Hemoglobin Index 🩸
Internally at Nexus, we are measuring the quality metric named Hemoglobin index. This metric reflects the number of different publications, books and articles that can be found by a plain query of "hemoglobin" in our bots. Initially, our Hemoglobin index stood at approximately 2500 items. Nowadays, due to active OCR of content and data enrichment and curating efforts, the Hemoglobin index has surged to 425110 and continues to increase rapidly. This represents a 170 times increase from the baseline, at least 15 times larger than any other shadow library and still 6 times smaller than Google Scholar. Thus, there is still a room for improvement.
