404 Media用AirTag钓出了亚马逊偷偷扫书训练AI，书最后进了拉斯维加斯仓库，工人都证实了。
404 Media 在 Biblio 上的一笔约 1000 本珍本书订单中放入 AirTag，追踪发现书被送到拉斯维加斯 LAS8 仓库的 VGT3 角。该设施入口有恐龙叼书的标志，亚马逊工人论坛讨论确认 VGT3 会破坏性扫描大量书籍。此前 Anthropic 在 2025 年 6 月也被曝出类似扫描行为。
We Tracked a Shipment of Rare Books. It Ended at an Amazon AI Training Facility
We Tracked a Shipment of Rare Books. It Ended at an Amazon AI Training Facility Excellent piece of reporting from 404 Media. For a while now there have been stories of book dealers receiving orders for large volumes of books from apparently price-insensitive anonymous customers, widely suspected to be companies looking to scan them for AI training (see my previous coverage of Anthropic's book scanning from June 2025.) 404 Media investigated with an AirTag! In July, one bookseller told me they received a very large order of around 1,000 books on Biblio, one of these marketplaces. The seller agreed to put an Apple AirTag provided by 404 Media in one of the books included in this order so we could see where the book was going. And by extension, which company, AI or otherwise, was behind this massive order. The book ended up delivered to the VGT3 corner of the LAS8 Amazon facility in the north east of Las Vegas, where the entrance carried this on-the-nose logo of a dinosaur with a book!
