[Emily @IamEmily2050]

As expected, there is no hope from OpenAI and Anthropic; they want to stay ahead of everyone while using these cheap tricks to eliminate any competition. There are so many people dying every day from all types of diseases with no cure available; instead of solving these problems, they keep using the scary campaign against society.

Mark Zuckerberg explains his AI philosophy

“The AI Future Is for Everyone”

>superintelligence is coming
>that debate is over
>real question is WHO gets access
>a few AGI labs behind closed doors… or everyone?
>zucc: EVERYONE

>it’s surprising how much doom comes from the people building it
>“why are you building the thing you think ends humanity?”

>claiming AI is so dangerous so the only safe path is concentrating power
>lol, lmao even
>that IS the dangerous part

>history shows betting on benevolent absolute power staying benevolent is a mistake
>no single “aligned” superintelligence can be benevolent to everyone
>“humanity isn’t a monoculture”
>someone’s values win. someone’s get nuked

>solution: widely distribute superintelligence
>everyone checks everyone
>no single lab deciding humanity’s values
>balance of power becomes the foundation of safety

BASED AND CHECKED

The Economist just dropped another classic:
“China’s mightiest river is coming back from the brink”
(The Economist, 2026)
But eco-authoritarianism is not all roses
Fish stocks up 200%+. Sturgeons breeding again. Porpoises recovering.
A 6,300 km river brought back from ecological death in a few years.
And still they manage to make it sound like a human-rights violation with a green filter.
The cope is relentless.

Every time China fixes something the West spent decades lecturing about, the headlines twist themselves into pretzels to find the dark side. Success is never allowed to stand on its own. It must be framed as accidental, authoritarian, temporary, or somehow still a failure.

The formula never changes. Deliver results → insert the “yes, but…” → remind everyone that competence without the correct ideology is suspicious.

Here are ten titles that are already jokes the moment you read them:
China builds the world’s largest high-speed rail network – tragically, people can now arrive on time
(The New York Times, 2024)
800 million lifted out of poverty – but did anyone ask if they miss the dirt floors?
(The Guardian, 2021)
China’s EV factories dominate the planet – a clear threat to Western parking lots
(Financial Times, 2025)
Yangtze fish stocks triple after fishing ban – eco-authoritarianism claims another victim (the fishermen’s freedom to go bankrupt)
(The Economist, 2026)
China plants billions of trees – nature recovers without a single democratic consultation
(BBC, 2023)
World’s biggest renewable energy capacity installed – still somehow China’s fault for the climate
(Bloomberg, 2025)
Poverty eliminated in record time – experts warn success may discourage future suffering
(Washington Post, 2020)
Chinese high-speed trains run at 350 km/h – democracy would have preferred a slower, more inclusive timetable
(The Atlantic, 2022)
Belt and Road builds ports and railways across continents – developing countries cruelly denied the right to remain underdeveloped
(Foreign Policy, 2023)
China’s space station completes missions without exploding – suspiciously competent for a non-Western power
(CNN, 2024)
Same script every single time.
China delivers results → Western media delivers the “yes, but…”
They can’t celebrate competence when it doesn’t come wrapped in their preferred ideology.

The cope is becoming performance art at this point.

Most insightful comment I have read on the new robot ban:

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Dario is an absolute prime example of a certain class of Western elites who have so thoroughly convinced themselves of their own moral superiority that they can announce plans for completely destroying another society while describing THEM as a "threat" - completely oblivious to how insane this reads.

[Max For AI @MaxForAI]

如果不是看了法院判决的原文，我绝对不知道Anthropic有这么畜生。。。。

一边天天教育全世界要重视AI安全，一边为了训练Claude，干了一套相当畜生的事情。

首先是它花了数百万美元，买下数百万本实体书。

然后雇人把书脊拆掉，把每一页裁开，逐页扫描成可以检索的PDF，最后把纸质原书全部丢弃。

法院的表述是：
「The print original was destroyed. One replaced the other.」

纸质原件被销毁，数字副本取而代之。

数百万本书，就这样被买回来，拆掉，裁开，扫描，销毁。

但这甚至还不是Anthropic干得最离谱的事。

判决显示，从一开始，Anthropic明明有很多渠道可以买书，但法官直接写道，它更愿意「preferred to steal them」，因为这样可以避开Dario Amodei所说的法律、实务和商业麻烦。

并且Anthropic联合创始人Ben Mann还亲自下场了。

2021年初，他下载了Books3，里面有196640本未经授权的版权书籍。

几个月后，他又从LibGen下载了至少500万本盗版书。

2022年，Anthropic继续从PiLiMi下载了至少200万本。

判决明确指出，Ben Mann和Anthropic知道这些累计超过700万本的书是盗版的。

更恶心的是，Anthropic后来已经意识到法律风险了。

内部开始对继续使用盗版书训练模型有所顾忌，原因就是「法律问题」。

但法院紧接着写了一句：「It kept them anyway.」

虽然知道有问题，Anthropic它还是把书留下来了。

当然Anthropic也尝试过找出版社授权。

2024年，它专门挖来Google图书扫描项目的前合作负责人，任务是弄到「世界上的所有书」。

他给几家大型出版社发了一两封邮件，询问AI训练授权。

法院认为，如果继续谈下去，原本可能达成许可协议。

但Anthropic高层让这些谈判直接中止了。

因为高层认为谈版权太麻烦，还是批量买书、拆书、扫描比较省事。

而那些被Anthropic弄来被并被销毁的书，也不是训练完就删掉。

Anthropic准备把它们放进一个永久的通用中央图书馆。即使已经确定某些书永远不会再用于训练，也要继续保存。

法院还提到，数百名工程师可以访问这些文件，并为其他用途制作副本。

法官甚至批评Anthropic在相关证据披露上进行了回避。

但最讽刺的是，法院最后认定：用这些书训练大模型，本身可以属于合理使用。

原因是任何人合法购买实体书后，将它一对一转换成数字副本，并销毁原书，也可以属于合理使用。

Anthropic真正栽掉的，是它明知书籍来自盗版网站，仍然下载超过700万本，并试图建立一个永久保存的通用图书馆。

法院最后还特意表示：

Anthropic后来买下一本它此前从网上偷来的书，也不能免除之前盗版的责任。

所以这件事里Anthropic最畜生的地方是：

Anthropic并不是因为不知道版权规则才盗版。

它知道正规授权渠道在哪里，也知道这些书是盗版，更知道继续使用存在法律风险。

它只是觉得走正规流程太麻烦。

这家公司对AI安全的道德要求似乎主要适用于未来的机器。

至于自己，先把700万本书偷回来再说。

@mweinbach Since you are also racist, naturally you see no problem with it.

[AntiAnthropicRacism @xiaotoozi]

@zachtratar It is simply technological racism.

@HedgieMarkets I’ve asked the SpaceXAI team to preserve any rare books in a library and scan them the hard way vs just cutting off the spine and scanning

[Hedgie @HedgieMarkets]

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

Nobody is saying that all software has to be open source. What they’re saying is that open-weight AI should be allowed. By implication, they’re rejecting your company’s incessant machinations to kneecap the open model ecosystem. Read the room.

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Since 1978, China has planted more than 66 billion trees in an effort to slow the expansion of two major deserts, making it the country with the largest tree-planting effort in history.

China has carried out the world’s largest afforestation program, planting tens of billions of trees to combat desertification and restore damaged ecosystems. After decades of deforestation, overgrazing, and expanding deserts, China launched the Three North Shelterbelt Program in 1978 to slow the growth of the Gobi Desert and protect farmland and cities from dust storms.

The effort later expanded to areas surrounding the Taklamakan Desert, where trees were planted along highways, rivers, and desert borders to stabilize shifting sands. These programs helped increase China’s forest coverage from around 12% in the early 1980s to more than 24% today, with NASA satellite data showing China contributed about 25% of the world’s increase in leaf area between 2000 and 2017.

IMO reading CEO of Deepseek's interview and comparing it to what Western AI leaders are saying is the largest blackpill I've taken today
