I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more.

These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.

@geerlingguy @claudeai oh no! Someone used content in a way that was never meant/allowed in the licensing agreement? Outrageous! We should collectively push for legislation that prohibits this kind of abuse, ideally on a worldwide scale.
Seriously, I like Claude but just like when OpenAI cried about DeepSeek, I laugh. You can’t do one thing and then complain when others follow your steps.

@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.
