Quick downvotes despite (or because of?) the fact that Amodei literally used torrents to steal material.

How do you know that Anna's archive started operating in 2022?

edit: you've sent me Wikipedia link and then removed your reply. So I'll put my reply here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna%27s_Archive

Very first sentence in article:

> Anna's Archive is an open source search engine for shadow libraries that was launched by the pseudonymous Anna shortly after law enforcement efforts to shut down Z-Library in 2022.

Doesn't it clearly say that there's 'prior art'? So much so, that there's dedicated 'shadow library' article linked?

With that basic context (you should've been aware of?) your speculation makes zero sense:

> But perhaps it was set up by AI training thieves. The founding date of July 2022 would speak for that theory.

I think the quick downvotes are just about how daft and baseless the post is.

Please consider improving your critical thinking and rhetoric, the parent post is barely understandable and reads like a schizoid rant about a very original conspiracy.

As for me I'll continue counting Anna's Archive as one of the few wonders of the modern world.
