I can find no incentivized people or contractors collecting data in this story. Just normal users who had their data siphoned up and reviewed by the contractors in this report. I don't understand where your view of this story is coming

You seem to misunderstand the situation. These contractors were reviewing sensitive customer data, not collecting data of their own.

Why take from other workers when it can be siphoned from upper management and shareholders?

That would seem to misalign the incentives in the opposite direction. Cut corners, reduce costs by any means necessary even to the detriment of performance. One of the most common comments I see here on the release of a new Anthropic model

You once again drag things in a wildly hyperbolic direction. Nobody's talking about throwing money around wildly at unrelated projects. When there is a single project that sits at your very heart, without which your entire startup is a

This isn't left and right, this is one direction: upstream, to the project that forms your very heart.

If you use them for free to spawn a 50M business, yeah, give back a little. Nobody's saying every user should open their wallet, let alone "empty" it as you hyperbolate.

Makes no sense for headspace to be using it if that were the case.

Product managers reduce velocity. The behavior changes every time another instance of Claude Code thinks something else would be a marginal improvement, with no further oversight or thought put into it.

My attitude towards this is growing similar to my attitude towards Windows. If I have to fight against my tools and they are actively working against me, I'd rather save the sanity and time and just find a new tool.

If someone spends 5 hours communicating with an artist they're commissioning vs 5 minutes on a sketch on a napkin, I think the napkin has a stronger claim to creativity.

Most new music by what definition? I'm certain more stuff is being churned out by these automated tools than genuine human creativity, but that doesn't make it economically relevant if the only use it's seeing is random high

This also is quite handy for inlining SVGs in CSS, although I believe you have to mark the encoding as utf-8.

Service Workers can cough up this stuff even without a connection, provided you already visited the site once before. This is how sites like Twitter still load their bones even without a connection.

I 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)

Genuine question, why have you chosen to phrase this scraping and distillation as an attack? I'm imagining you're doing it because that's how Anthropic prefers to frame it, but isn't scraping and distillation, with some

It's really not. It was a fun toy but had very little utility. It could generate plausible looking text that collapsed immediately upon any amount of inspection or even just attention. Code generation wasn't even a twinkle in Altm

It is lauding his accomplishments, yes. Why bring him up in specific if there is no relation intended? There are many broad shouldered giants in this space.

Swartz died in 2002, decades before LLMs. It is distasteful to put words in the mouths of the dead by invoking him here. Even local AI concentrates power in the hands of a few, the few who can afford the hardware to run it, and the few who

Anthropic's C compiler also had an incredible test suite available, and was trained on compiler codebases. It might have been built "from scratch" but compilers are incredibly well-trodden ground. And to contrast, Cursor'

Because it can't. I'm aware of only two projects that have attempted this. 1. Anthropic's C compiler. This is a buggy, unoptimized, unwieldy mess. One that can compile the Linux kernel, which is no mean feat. But it is not &q

Yes, but this does come with differences and tradeoffs. If the terminal isn't managing the scrollback, you don't get scrollbars and you lose any smooth/high resolution scrolling. You also lose fancy terminal features like sea
