I don't see any mention of Project Ocean - AKA Google books. Before AI they endevoured to digitize books in a massive online library. This inccluded rare and out of print books many which are archived at libraries. Because they had to preserve the books and return them in the condition they received then they created elaborate technology to accomplish this. The project was met with significant legal challenges from authors and publishers which was eventually overcome. The legal precedents that were established from Project Ocean laid the ground work for the process as it exists today. Books from libraries are still being preserved.

Google's latest AI threat tracker report mostly describes how threat actors are using AI, but the report begins by calling out distillation attacks. Google frames these types of attacks as a form of intellectual property theft.

Google cited one example that involved more than 100,000 queries to its Gemini AI. The campaign appeared to be about "replicating Gemini's reasoning ability in non-English target languages."

Google didn't call out any particular country or competitor, but instead referred to "frequent model extraction attacks from private sector entities all over the world and researchers seeking to clone proprietary logic."

"In 2025, China added 543 GW of new power capacity – 10X the amount of electricity added by the US, and over 100 GW more than it added in 2024.1"

By contrast, in a memo sent to U.S. lawmakers, OpenAI said that the majority of distillation activity appears to originate from China and that it has seen "evolving but persistent methods" being used against its models.

This was first published 3 weeks ago when it was all about drug boats - and the US had just siezed the first oil tanker. Now this analysis takes on a whole new meaning in the context of everything that has happened in the last 48 hours.

Ask the Guyanese next door if they think they are getting a good deal from oil exploitation: https://ieefa.org/articles/guyana-paying-oil-costs-20-years-...

The article is actually not about trump at all... rather it is a very clearly articulated case that the fed is completely subject to agency capture by the big banks and outlines a solution for solving this problem

If you haven't done so yet it is worth the time to read the long history of this as outlined in the court case -
