David Sacks accuses Anthropic of hypocrisy over training-data rights
ccerrato147 · x · 2026-07-28
David Sacks criticizes Anthropic over what he calls hypocrisy on training rights and IP: he argues the company wants to train on the world’s output for free, but would call it theft if a competitor trained on Anthropic’s output after paying for it.
The quoted thread also points to leaked internal language about “Project Panama,” alleging that Anthropic preferred books because they were a cost-effective way to build better models, then turned to piracy at scale, including downloading millions of books from online libraries such as Libgen.
