The recent OpenAI wiki spam indecent was interesting because it helped reveal some of how they are training their models for research tasks: https://collusion.wiki/
> In mid-2024, <redacted> published a list of the best books of the 21st century selected by a panel of experts. It also published a separate list based on readers' votes. I would like to know whether my local public library's collection included the books on the latter list as of August 24, 2024. Consider only the top 50 books, and exclude nonfiction and poetry collections.
