“Anthropic just told the US Senate that Alibaba ran 25,000 fake accounts and had 28.8 million conversations with Claude — not to use it, but to copy it”

This happened over just six weeks between April and June. No hacking involved — they just used the API like a normal customer, at industrial scale, to extract Claude's agentic reasoning and coding capabilities and train Qwen on it. Anthropic is calling it the largest "distillation attack" in the company's history — bigger than DeepSeek, Moonshot, and MiniMax combined. And the uncomfortable part? It's not clearly illegal under current law. That's exactly why Anthropic sent the letter to Congress rather than filing a lawsuit. Made a full breakdown of what happened, how distillation attacks actually work, and why this connects directly to the Fable 5 export ban: [https://youtu.be/g1d3yTR6E2Y](https://youtu.be/g1d3yTR6E2Y) Curious what people think — should mass-scale distillation be illegal, or is it just aggressive competition?
