I’d love Dario to explain the philosophical difference between Anthropic buying books and using that content to train Claude and Alibaba paying for the Claude API and using those conversations to train Qwen? 🤔

@carnage4life Wasn't their legal argument that when they scanned and uploaded all of those books it was fair use because it was "transformative". A judge ruled that using books this way was transformative and therefore fair use. So they now have to argue that distillation isn't transformative and therefore isn't fair use. Which seems like a real stretch and also pretty ridiculous.
