Firehosing Anthropic to exfiltrate their model seems materially different than Anthropic downloading all of the Internet to create the model in the first place to me. But maybe that's just me?
- robrenaud 7mo agoYeah, it's different. Anthropic profits when it delivers tokens. Hosting providers pay when Anthropic scrapes them.
- jdiff 7mo agoI don't see the material difference in firehosing anthropic vs anthropic firehosing random sites on the internet. As someone who runs a few of those random sites, I've had to take actions that increase my costs (and burn my time) to mitigate a new host of scrapers constantly firing at every available endpoint, even ones specifically marked as off limits.
- 59nadir 7mo agoYes, what the LLM providers did was worse and impacted people financially a whole lot more in lost compensation for works as well as operational costs that would never reach the heights they did solely because of scrapers on behalf of model providers.
