@inthehands The thing is, the SCOTUS just confirmed that there’s no copyright in “AI” generated output. And Anthropic has boasted about how Claude codes Claude so, as numerous IP lawyers like me have warned, Anthropic is in a pickle. They’d *like* to say they have copyright and no one cans scrape and use it, but they’re in court arguing it’s legal for companies (them) to use whatever they can get their hands on, so… [insert gif of tiniest tiny violin] 😂
