„By Wednesday morning, Anthropic representatives had used a copyright takedown request to force the removal of more than 8,000 copies and adaptations of the raw Claude Code instructions—known as source code—that developers had shared on programming platform GitHub.“

Because if there’s one thing GenAI companies absolutely don’t take lightly, it’s copyright.

@johl Funny thing is, that code isn't copyrightable (in the United States, anyway), as it's been generated by Claude Code.

@johl @vivtek Link to the recent write up in case anyone’s wondering why…

AI-generated art can’t be copyrighted after Supreme Court declines to review the rule

The US Supreme Court has declined to hear a case over whether AI-generated art can be copyrighted.

@vivtek @johl Generative AI consists of one proposition: there are in-groups that copyright protects but does not bind, and everyone else, whose work is fair game for stealing.

@nealeg @vivtek @johl

Yeah. Nothing different from Anthropic's usual attitude - training their model on everyone's books is apparently perfectly fine, yet at the same time DeepSeek allegedly training on Anthropic slop is somehow "stealing" from them.

(and according to the allegations, DeepSeek did this as *paid customers of their service* - not even anything underhanded!)

@vivtek @johl Also, it was published along with a license file. You can't publish something, and then say: sorry, mistake, and unpublish it. It was released with a license for using it.
