btw anthropic's internal document on this literally said "we don't want it to be known that we are working on this.”

it was called project panama.

here's exactly what happened:

1: anthropic concluded that books were the cheapest way to build a world-class model because they gave claude curated facts, structured arguments, compelling stories, and writing “an editor would approve of.”

2: once anthropic decided it needed books at enormous scale, its first solution was piracy.

it downloaded 7m+ books from online libraries including libgen. the judge later wrote that although anthropic had legal ways to buy them, it chose piracy to avoid what dario amodei called the “legal/practice/business slog.”

3: that piracy created a massive legal risk.

so in february 2024, anthropic hired tom turvey, the former head of partnerships for google books, to find a legally safer way of obtaining “all the books in the world.”

4: turvey first contacted major publishers about licensing their catalogs.

those attempts didn’t produce agreements, so anthropic chose a route that required no publisher permission: buying millions of physical books through distributors and used-book retailers.

5: within about a year, anthropic spent tens of millions acquiring and scanning millions of books, including many rare and 1/1 titles. one vendor proposal targeted 500,000 to 2 million books in six months.

6: to scan that many books within months, the vendors physically dismantled them.

a hydraulic cutter removed each spine. the pages were trimmed to size, fed as loose sheets through high-speed industrial scanners, and converted into searchable PDFs. the paper remains were then sent for recycling.

7: these PDFs were fed into claude as training data.

the complete collection became a private, searchable anthropic library that the company planned to “store forever.” the scans aren’t available to the public and were never open-sourced.

He asked Ian to specifically say “I wish Bear never made a wish” because he wants to be able to make another wish, that’s why he bought 2 wish willows. Even after all that, he still wants to control Nikki #Obsession

whatever u do DONT think about how they not only fell in love while filming this movie but both went from not being interested in having kids to wanting to have a family together specifically with each other bc they wanted this to be real and not pretend so they did exactly that

This is why they want “equal punishment” for “false rape accusers.” Because they know that if it becomes a thing, the accusers will be getting more prison time than they would get if they raped a woman. Therefore, all accusations would cease and they’d be free to rape.

Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.

George Orwell worried that a shrinking vocabulary would eventually produce a shrinking range of thought.

It is difficult to think a nuanced thought with a blunt language.
