Former Google engineer Zach Vorhies claims the U.S. government helped OpenAI and Anthropic scrape the internet to build data monopolies. He alleges these firms now sell that captured knowledge back to the public. The claims lack corroborating evidence. This narrative adds to ongoing legal disputes regarding copyright and data provenance in model training.
