Oh, Anthropic, the company that hoover'd up everyone else's data, and is now unhappy when others are doing to it what it did to others? The same Anthropic?

Yes, this joke/point has been made 10,000 times in this thread in almost every comment, and on every other previous thread. Thank you!
If Anthropic doesn't like people repeating this point, Anthropic should stop repeating that they are somehow entitled to keep what they have rightfully stolen.
Hey, are you unaware of the settlement they paid or the change in how they get this information that they made?
I don't see how the settlement changes the fundamental dynamics.

Anthropic argues that since they paid for the book they use in training, the can now distill as many copies of the book from their AI.

Nevermind what the author wants - anthropic doesn't need a permission to do so, and the author cannot opt-out their books from training. But somehow that is fair use now.

Now some chinese have bought access to anthropics AI, and anthropic is arguing that the Chinese shouldn't be allowed to distill from them, the same way they trained from others without consent..

"The settlement"? Not gonna cut it.
$1 billion and a huge change to how they gather information? What do you know about what they changed?
Well you seem to clearly be in the know. Care to share?
It's not a joke. It pointing out hypocrisy and associated loss of all moral rights.
And yet it seems to continue to need to be repeated. If the shoe fits and all.
