I literally read this short story in ... probably Asimov's SF, probably in the 1990s. Could've been Analog.

Seriously, though - this was, like, the entire plot. Exactly this. EXACTLY this.

From futurism.com/future-society/an :

Anthropic shredded millions of physical books to train its Claude AI model — and new documents suggest that it was well aware of just how bad it would look if anyone found out.

    I once said ICE was stealing people's property. Everything from electronics (phones, Laptop computers), jewelry, and even clothing.

    A few people said, I was making things up. 🙄

    What is in the news today? ICE caught stealing jewels and gold (see URL below).

    The things I learn about while working for Meta (Facebook) — I should add they're also stealing people's cars to conduct raids.

                apparently the child of a contractor hired by the U.S. government to manage crypto seized from criminals managed to steal $40-100 million dollars from the government and no one even noticed.

                until, that is, the lure of flexing on the internet proved too much for him (full name John Daghita AKA “Lick”) and he posted a screenshot showing off his money that revealed his crypto address, which was able to link to the stolen funds.

John’s dad owns CMDSS, which currently has an active IT government contract in Virginia. CMMDS was awarded a contract to assist the USMS in managing/disposing of seized/forfeited crypto assets. It still remains unclear at this point how John obtained access from his dad.

                                                                                                                                                                From https://www.theverge.com/anthropic/709183/anthropic-class-action-lawsuit-pirated-books-authors-downloads

                                                                                                                                                                Even though I am probably one of the affected authors, lawsuits like this make me nervous. If the decision comes down in favor of Anthropic it sets a precedent for repeating what they and others have done. I am very skeptical that these issues would be appropriately settled in the courts; we need proper regulation of this industry as of two years ago. It's likewise worth noting that OpenAI claims at least 10x the traffic of Anthropic's various products.

                                                                                                                                                                Also, I've been in these kinds of lawsuits before. We'll end up getting a coupon for $1 off use of Claude if the class wins, or something comparably absurd. (*)

They were found guilty of deceptive marketing because they were mixing tap water in with the "spring water" they claimed to be selling. I was awarded a $1, maybe $5, coupon to buy Poland "Spring" water.
