That's like saying someone is a big proponent of community law and order, and they donated $1000 to the county sheriff when actually they got caught drunk speeding in a school zone.

A false equivalence. A more correct example is: Anthropic was speeding, got caught by the county sheriff, and paid the fine. Anthropic stopped speeding.

Meanwhile, Chinese labs are speeding in a different county. Everyone knows they are speeding, yet the sheriff won't pull them over, so they just keep doing it.

This lax enforcement gives Chinese labs a structural advantage over American ones.

> Anthropic stopped speeding.

Do you purport to know for a fact that they're no longer training on the data they'd pirated? Because I highly doubt that.

		Anthropic deleted the pirated training data as part of the settlement https://www.ropesgray.com/en/insights/alerts/2025/09/anthrop... Destruction of Materials: In addition to the monetary compensation, Anthropic has agreed to destroy the two libraries that allegedly contain the pirated works, as well as any derivative copies originating from those sources. Anthropic must certify in writing to class counsel that the destruction has been completed and that the allegedly infringing materials are permanently removed from its systems. The libraries in question were Library Genesis (LibGen) and Pirate Library Mirror (PiLiMi). If Anthropic is somehow training models on deleted data, I'd be quite impressed.
