Anthropic gets mocked for settling a $1.5B book piracy suit while attacking model distillation
tech__unicorn · x · 2026-07-24
A snarky post contrasts Anthropic’s reported $1.5B lawsuit settlement over pirated books with its complaints about a Chinese lab distilling one of its most powerful models.
The main point is the double-standard jab: the author frames the lawsuit settlement and the model-distillation accusation as the same story from opposite sides, making it more of an industry drama take than a factual update.
