We Tracked a Shipment of Rare Books. It Ended at an Amazon AI Training Facility
我们追踪了一批稀有书籍的运输，最终它出现在亚马逊的AI训练设施。
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.)
这是来自404 Media的精彩报道。一段时间以来，一直有故事说书商收到大批量购书订单，买家是显然对价格不敏感的匿名客户，人们普遍怀疑这些公司是想扫描书籍用于AI训练（见
我之前的相关报道
2025年6月关于Anthropic扫描书籍的报道。）
404 Media investigated with an AirTag!
404 Media用一枚AirTag进行了调查！
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.
7月，一位书商告诉我，他们在Biblio（此类市场之一）上收到了一份非常大的订单，约1000本书。卖家同意将404 Media提供的一枚Apple AirTag放入订单中的一本书里，这样我们就能看到这本书的去向，进而了解这大批订单背后的公司是哪家，是AI公司还是其他公司。
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!
这本书最终被送到了VGT3角落，该角落属于
LAS8亚马逊设施
位于拉斯维加斯东北部，入口处有一个直白的标志：一只恐龙拿着一本书！

Online forum discussions between Amazon workers confirmed that VGT3 destructively scans large volumes of books.
