Where on Earth do people get the belief that:

- It's the SOTA companies doing it?

- Scrapers are doing it for training data?

Those are two assumptions I see in posts and threads around Anubis, that are taken at faith, and never once substantiated.

What's your alternative hypothesis?

There are more than just the American top dogs (OAI, Anthropic, SpaceX, Facebook)... especially the Chinese government with all its infinite cash resources and next to zero ethical constraints.

I don't trust the US top dogs at all, but I think the fear of discovery alone would lead them to not use "residential proxy" services. Non-US/EU entities however... who cares?
