THIS IS F*CKING DISTURBING!!!🤯
A leaked Anthropic document just came out in court. Their own words:
"Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world."
Next line: "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this."
They planned to shred every book on the planet, in secret. And they almost got away with it.
It starts with theft. Anthropic stole 7 MILLION books from pirate sites to train Claude, because their CEO said paying authors was too much of a "slog."
Then the lawsuits hit and they needed a legal way to keep going. So they hired the ex-head of Google Books and sent him to publishers to ask for permission. Publishers said no.
That's when they found the loophole.
Buy millions of real, physical books. Cut the spines off with a hydraulic blade, scan the loose pages, and throw what's left in recycling.
One vendor offered to destroy 2 MILLION books in 6 months. That's 11,000 books a day.
Now the insane part.. destroying the books is what made it legal.
If you scan a book and keep it, that's a crime. If you scan it and shred it, that's fair use. A judge actually approved this, which means the shredder WAS the legal strategy.
They still paid $1.5 billion for the stolen books, the biggest copyright settlement in history. Works out to $3,000 per book.
And the scans are locked in Anthropic's private library forever. Nobody outside the company will ever see them. The authors got a shredded book and nothing else.
The part I can't stop thinking about is that a book on a shelf lasts 500 years without power, wifi, or a subscription, and the AI it was destroyed for gets thrown away in 18 months.
They killed something permanent to feed something disposable.
Unpopular opinion: The fact that they can quickly install data centers nationally means they could've been updating infrastructure which they claimed was too difficult and expensive.
No living calves born. All stillborn calves, since d[ata] centers were built near the land of farmers. The noise coming from them, are causing stillbirths. If these are the effects these centers have on mammals, what are they doing to pregnant human mothers

ICE said he tried to ram them with his car. Every time they’ve ever said this it has come out that they lied
The amount of black KIDS that have been found swingin from trees or found dead by the hands of their "friends" or just because of the color of their skin in the last month is so disheartening and not enough people are speaking out about it😭
Activists built a water station providing clean drinking water to Palestinians.
He posts about it's launch on X.
One hour later Israel bombs it, killing the workers.
If 3 Black people took a White man on a boat expedition and didn’t return with him the president would be making a speech right now.
Rest in power Nolan Wells
This man murdered his pregnant wife then strangled both his daughters and threw them in a water tank. This is the picture they use when they speak about him. Privilege is really wild to me.
