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.
Stealing from all of the world? Seemingly alright.
Stealing from AI companies? Industrial-scale copyright violation……

@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/
@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.

@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 -
@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.
@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? 🥺

@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.@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.

@geerlingguy My exact reaction as well, when I heard that the AI grifters are now complaining to the gov about other grifters grifting on them. @claudeai@threads.net it's only a bit embarrassing, a tiny bit. You plundering societies wealth of public knowledge and everything besides and then selling it back to us at a premium. We are not as stupid as your little sock puppet Artificial Idiots.

@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
@gary_alderson @geerlingguy
Most lawsuits against firms abusing open source copyrights don't end in multi-million payout, but with a the abusers issuing a pinky-promise that they will not to it again.
That pinky-promise cannot feed the hungry lawyer. -
