Booksellers have long suspected that AI companies are buying large lots of rare books, scanning them, and then destroying them. Now, 404 Media reports that an AirTag hidden inside a rare book from a bulk order was tracked to an Amazon AI training facility in Las Vegas.
That facility, known as VGT3, reportedly housed a team that tore books from their spines and scanned the pages, with a logo on the door showing a Tyrannosaurus rex preparing to devour a book. Amazon declined to comment, offering only a statement that did not specifically mention AI training.
