    Yes, apparently they’re suddenly worried that stealing other people’s work—which is their business model—might backfire on them. I assume this is a measure intended to give the impression—in the face of one of the countless lawsuits against Anthropic—that they’re actually taking licensing or intellectual property rights seriously. I can’t think of any other explanation, because Anthropic simply can’t afford to have questions raised about where the training data used by their models actually comes from.

      Pulling up the stolen ladder before anyone can steal it to use to steal more stuff while it’s still enforceable to do so.

      Mabey just make all ladders illegal, unless you have a government contracted monopoly.

      The entire idea of copyright is going to be tested at many levels, and most people don’t even understand why yet.

      Interesting times.
