You don't think they would still pay them for the right to publish, if not ownership of the copyright itself?

And gambling! A poison of the mind, if you will.

A lot of things people do on smartphones have very similar effects as gambling. It's only not as catastrophic, because most users don't lose all their money on it.

I actually really like this suggestion. Treat a phone like a box of cigarettes. Hey, it could even have a surgeon general's warning on the packaging!

Do you purport to know for a fact that they're no longer training on the data they'd pirated? Because I highly doubt that.

Anthropic deleted the pirated training data as part of the settlement https://www.ropesgray.com/en/insights/alerts/2025/09/anthrop...

Destruction of Materials: In addition to the monetary compensation, Anthropic has agreed to destroy the two libraries that allegedly contain the pirated works, as well as any derivative copies originating from those sources. Anthropic must certify in writing to class counsel that the destruction has been completed and that the allegedly infringing materials are permanently removed from its systems.

The libraries in question were Library Genesis (LibGen) and Pirate Library Mirror (PiLiMi).

If Anthropic is somehow training models on deleted data, I'd be quite impressed.

Artificial Stupid Intelligence?

I look forward to being able to see C-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhäuser Gate.

Then it doesn't "rule them all" for anyone who needs a terminal, does it?

Is model distillation also related?
