@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 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?

@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

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.

[gilgwath@social.tchncs.de]

@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.

@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.

[chebra@mstdn.io]

@tail_call @geerlingguy Notice how they are carefully avoiding the term "copyright", because they know they can't have copyright on the LLM outputs (that would be a nice shitstorm if they could and suddenly claimed copyright on all the vibe-coded projects). They know Deepseek isn't doing anything illegal, so Anthropic is just publicly whining "Mooom, they are mean to us!"

@joosteto @geerlingguy make sure you adhere to the license and no problems - most are pretty generous #source #types of licenses #forks
