You built an industry on scraping the internet and now you’re shocked someone scraped you. You normalized the idea that anything publicly accessible is fair game for training. That’s the precedent you set. I don’t want to hear you bitch about it now.
They didn't just scrape what was public. They knowingly mass-pirated almost everything they could get their hands on.
So... They'd be fine with people "pirating" their super-secret information, right?

@simonbs You greedy little bastards! Stop whining and get a life!
This whole GenAI LLM industry is built on stolen work and stolen creativity, This is organised crime, and you are the mobsters.
Now your scum colleagues scrape your models, and you feel betrayed? You're thieves like them, and all of your bunch can rot in hell!
-
@simonbs they don’t say anything one way or another. Maybe they are proud of them

@imyke Haha, fair point! I was curious enough about their stance to log into Twitter and read their own replies.
They acknowledge the utility of “distillation" but point out that foreign labs should not distill American models.
I mean, I'm pretty sure Anthropic's models aren't trained on American data only

@simonbs I bet my left nut that Anthropic, OpenAI, etc. are doing the same with all their competitors as well.
I hope it causes model collapse.

@simonbs So much use for this meme pic lately.
-
@nighthawk Properly a little less, at least from the software industry, but I think authors and artists would give the same backlash.
Just to be clear: my post isn't meant as backlash, per se. I use AI tools frequently. I just don't want Anthropic etc. to cry about someone stealing from them when that's their entire business.
@simonbs @nighthawk It's somewhat comical. Part of why they are worked up about it likely that they assess distillation will be easier to defend legally than direct rights-violating use of training data. The reality is there are many strong technical teams in China and elsewhere, and their technical progress threatens the margins of Anthropic etc.

@simonbs "BUT WE STOLE IT FIRST" is an interesting legal strategy.

@simonbs @imyke I really liked Theo’s take on this: https://youtu.be/_k22WAEAfpE?si=jkqm4coKKADx9JR0

@simonbs No, you don't understand. Anthropic is a WESTERN company so by definition anything they do is good! It's when predominantly non-white people do it that it's bad!
Get with the program!

@simonbs but they point to a.great problem. Alibaba uses its endpoint to simulate millions of users to scrape the internet. Especially open source and free software in a barbarian way, Vandals to be precise, externalizing their cost of their assaults to the people of the internet. And I welcome the unethical to tell us who is even worse and the moralless. Please continue calling one the other out.

@simonbs i mean it's even worse, scraping usually involves extracting data for free. Claude on the other hand is not a free service.
They got paid and still crying about it. -
