https://mstdn.ca/@dbattistella/117004024280410659 This picture was originally shared by the Washington Post: "An image disclosed in court filings shows a book warehouse that was alleged to play a role in Anthropic’s Project Panama, its project to scan, digitize and destroy millions of books. (Obtained by The Post)" https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/01/27/anthropic-ai-scan-destroy-books/ Hell yeah, I found it: Exhibit 43 https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69058235/555/13/bartz-v-anthropic-pbc/ (p. 5) It seems to be either from "book scanning vendor in Chicago" or "World of Books"
