Oh noooo, the company that extracted our data for their models is having others extracting data for their models

They should just terminate their accounts instead of crying about it. I can't sympathize when they themselves harvested the data in the first place from the Internet without credit or paying.

kinda feels like fair use to me, not really even being facetious. "We'll just chat with your chatbot a lot and use it to train against", that's literally transformative isn't it?

Hell, that’s literally what they’re all doing when they ingest content from the public web that was (increasingly) generated using both their own & their competitors’ products. This is just cutting out the middleman.

At least Anthropic got paid for those tokens. Better than most people who inadvertently trained models.

I mean it's going to be an absolute disaster – the bubble's like 20x the size of Ye Olde Dotcom Bubble. The bubble's the only thing propping up the US economy right now, so once it pops, well… It'll be hilarious for sure, but holy shit is it going to suck so bad too.
