Jokes on you for crawling mostly synthetic text?

I hope they lose this case badly.

For the concerns I have about AI and stealing others work, I want to see Reddit burn for pretending that they are all about community and connection, while actively harming their users’ experience on the platform and attempting to profit off their content.

In the filing, Reddit calls Anthropic a “late-blooming artificial intelligence (‘AI’) company that bills itself as the white knight of the AI industry,” alleging that “it is anything but.”

“This case is about the two faces of Anthropic: the public face that attempts to ingratiate itself into the consumer’s consciousness with claims of righteousness and respect for boundaries and the law, and the private face that ignores any rules that interfere with its attempts to further line its pockets.”

I mean, Reddit's objection is that they want to sell the same data to Google to do the same training.

So if reddit wins, that means the content is theirs. So if the content is theirs, they are liable for any content that is illegal. Is that true?

This is like one of those cases where I'm kind of hoping they both lose somehow. Neither party are right in this case, Reddit is trying to claim copyright over content they have no rights to, and anthropic shouldn't be violating copyright without a licence.

But apparently you are actually allowed to violate copyright without a licence if you're an AI company because apparently llms are the future? So I guess Reddit are going to lose, which will be funny.

“Reddit’s humanity is uniquely valuable in a world flattened by AI,“ Lee said. ”Now more than ever, people are seeking authentic human-to-human conversation. Reddit hosts nearly 20 years of rich, human discussion on virtually every topic imaginable. These conversations don’t happen anywhere else—and they’re central to training language models like Claude.”

LMAO, reddit's days of genuine conversations between humans is long gone.

Only 100,000 times? Shit, do I need to be worried about getting sued too?

Reddit is just mad that Anthropic didn't pay them

Long story short: They are not combatting bots on their platform. They sold training data to google and these guys aren't paying, that's why they're suing.

Spez can forever get fucked

Suck shit reddit.

while half of reddit is infested with propaganda bots from russia.

I hope they both choke on their own bots.

"We're the front page of the Internet!"

"No, not like that..."

100.000 accesses isn't that much, right?

Obviously Reddit isn't averse to bots scraping the site for data, just ones that aren't paying them. I'm regretting not going through and systematically deleting all my posts and comments before deleting my account, but I thought that happened automatically.

Bots? On Reddit!?

Edit: I guess great minds think alike.
