re @claudeai

I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more.

These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.

@geerlingguy @claudeai please retain a lawyer, that is what rsj would do

@geerlingguy self awareness is not strong with this lot.

@geerlingguy @claudeai Copyright violations give you a hunting license to go after the offenders, but with a possible award of attorneys fees. You'll never get to the point of a judgment, there will be a settlement and probably not worth it after all the headache. Our judicial system is broken. Accept their copying and just continue creating.

@geerlingguy @claudeai oh no! Someone used content in a way that was never meant/allowed in the licensing agreement? Outrageous! We should collectively push for legislation that prohibits this kind of abuse, ideally on a worldwide scale.
Seriously, I like Claude but just like when OpenAI cried about DeepSeek, I laugh. You can’t do one thing and then complain when others follow your steps.

This is just lol. By the way, is it possible they are in hot waters with investors at the moment?

[mkyral@mastodonczech.cz]

@VogueLaGalere @geerlingguy @claudeai Wrong.

@geerlingguy @claudeai as always: "it's only bad, if it happens to us, not if we do it" ^^

but you suggest that there is "profit" in AI, which there is clearly not, at least not at the current point in time ^^

[codingjoe@fosstodon.org]

@geerlingguy and here I thought, you own the tokens you create... Guess only when it suites the narrative

[libreovergratis@mastodon.social]

@geerlingguy @claudeai The entire tech industry has been corporate espionage, spite forks, and shit throwing since the 8088 was considered fast, and I'm sick of pretending it's not.

[ramblingsteve@floss.social]

@geerlingguy copyright is only applied to poor people.

[mukto_manob@mastodon.social]

@geerlingguy @claudeai it's like Facebook and other social media where user generated content made profit for the social media companies! Now the whole internet is generating profit for the AI companies, the only difference is we didn't sign up for AI!

@geerlingguy@mastodon.social "distillation attacks" like what, they think their product is some kinda fine wine? stuff's just a septic tank ​​

[aleksandarilic@mastodon.social]

@geerlingguy @claudeai - industrial-scale copyright violations today, tomorrow - global-scale human rights violations. What can go wrong.

@geerlingguy @claudeai "Fair? Who's the f*cking nihilists around here?"

[jackyan@mastodon.social]

@geerlingguy Good on you, Jeff! Iʼm not skilled enough to identify them all, but there is evidence in our records of Microsoft and Open AI, Google, Tencent, Alibaba and ByteDance harvesting our content at a mass scale. @claudeai

@geerlingguy
Actually they are charging and making a loss, so I hope it bursts soon.

Anthropic have a cheek.
