@ramblingsteve @geerlingguy it always comes down to class

[devin_and_earth@mastodon.social]

@geerlingguy @claudeai Good news! They have in fact not profited exorbitantly, as not a single one has made any profit whatsoever.

[geerlingguy@mastodon.social]

@devin_and_earth @claudeai Haha well not in accounting terms / 'reality', but the valuations allow them to purchase billions in hardware and data center capacity.

@gary_alderson I have a lawyer, but not the funds to try attacking orgs that could sink a few million dollars into fighting a lawsuit at the drop of a hat.

[gary_alderson@infosec.exchange]

@geerlingguy some hungry starving bright lawyer may take it on contingency - i believe there have already been class actions and settlements - you sould consult somebody and stay apprised, it is a dynamic situation #rsj forkbomb

@geerlingguy

I agree with this post in sentiment... However,

I boosted this but then unboosted because clicking the [@] claude took me to the threads website...

Is there any way to avoid that (like brackets to disarm the URL, or spell it out fully at least?) or is that a per-client thing that needs to be fixed?

@geerlingguy well, this is why most people do not tolerate the AI hype. Just so you know, there is an AI blocker you can use on your websites: https://anubis.techaro.lol/

[irishmasms@defcon.social]

@claudeai @geerlingguy bummer, perhaps letting women decide what happens with their own bodies resonates differently now

@geerlingguy

Stealing from all of the world? Seemingly alright.

Stealing from AI companies? Industrial-scale copyright violation……

@mariob I feel like I should better figure out tweaking, but I did stick it in front of the privacy proxies I self-host for more of a "clean-up" purpose (breezewiki, redlib...) and I keep forgetting to do this for my Forgejo too. My logs keep growing absurdly fast despite blocking stuff otherwise.

[iagondiscord@wetdry.world]

@geerlingguy I'm really hoping that these AI companies just eat each other in some industry-wide ouroboros
Maybe then investors will realize it's mostly bull and things can return to some semblance of normalcy

@geerlingguy
I suspect that of you started a fund to hurt those bastards, many would contribute.

I would, for one.

@geerlingguy @claudeai Hey, Anthropic, does that mean you will go bankrupt? 🥺

[pixeljones@mindly.social]

@AlexTheStampede @geerlingguy @claudeai Hah, yes! Cory Doctorow cites how Facebook famously scraped people's friend connections & posts from MySpace so users would find it easier to migrate to FB ... but .. if a startup tried to do the same to Facebook today, their lawyers would nuke it from space until the rubble glowed. The bell always tolls for Thee not for Me, don't you know.

@geerlingguy @claudeai Turnabout is fair play. The pot calling the kettle black. Take your pick.
