Anthropic claude is scanning and destroying rare, hard to find books in millions

They were fined billions of dollars recently for illegally scanning the books. But a court judge allowed them illegally scanning the books to train their model as long as they destroy it. Now they are destroying numerous rare books. We may see it in future similar to how we see burning of library of Alexandria.

One prompt on a local box built this dashboard front end. The data behind it is fake. Toy or tool?

Curious what people who run things locally make of this one, because the caveat is doing most of the work. One prompt to an open model on a single desktop machine, and back comes a finished front end with gauges, a temperature bar and sparkline charts.
