They yell "China is stealing our tech!" but want us to look away when they pirate everything ever created for their model training...

Anthropic does seem to have more ethical practices on that than most companies in this space, purchasing and scanning physical books rather than pirating them as Meta and OpenAI did. However, books are cheap, and I’m unsure of their wider practices.
