Most of my students struggle to organise or bookmark the hundreds of pages they've created using ChatGPT. It gets messy. Some copy & paste everything into Google Docs. Others use custom apps or save the shareable URLs in their brow

I see where you are coming from: "My 8-yo son can also build websites". Writing books is a profession. Some people write full-time and make a living from it, through book sales, speaking gigs, teaching, or other related work. Mayb

Anthropic still faces billions of dollars in damages for pirating over 7 million books to build a digital library. The trial is scheduled for December 2025. That's when a jury will decide how much Anthropic owes for copying and storing

A couple of books? Anthropic faces billions of dollars in damages for pirating over 7 million books to build a digital library. The trial is scheduled for December 2025. That’s when a jury will decide how much Anthropic owes for copying and

I agree. The world is changing fast, but we need to make the transition less painful for everyone. The way things are going now only benefits big tech.

Again, you are comparing machines with humans. We're built for depth, not scale. Machines are built for scale, not depth. I also play the guitar, and it took me 10 years to learn 30 or 40 songs. So I don't see how anyone can learn

I can't say that to my student. What kind of teacher would I be? He might not have found out who Satoshi Nakamoto is, but he learned how to think, use research tools, ask good questions, and communicate the outcome of his investigation

Doesn't make sense what you said. If you're using AI, you might be benefiting from my books, whether you realise it or not.

I can only speak for myself, my family, and colleagues, but it's not just teachers. Plenty of other professionals are being affected too.

You are comparing AI to humans, but they're not the same. Humans don't memorise millions of copyrighted work and spit out similar content. AI does that. Memorising isn't wrong but when machines memorise at scale and the peopl

What does "fair use" even mean in a world where models can memorise and remix every book and song ever written? Are we erasing ownership? The problem is, copyright law wasn't written for machines. It was written for humans wh

Let's don't change the focus of the debate. Pirating 7 million books, remixing their content, and using that to power Claude.ai is like counterfeiting 7 million branded products and selling them on your personal website. The origi

I know this might come as a shock to those living in San Francisco, but things are different in other parts of the world, like Uruguay, Sweden and the rest of Europe. From what I’ve read, the European committee actually cares about enforcin

It might be legal in the US, but not in the rest of the world. The trial is scheduled for December 2025. That’s when a jury will decide how much Anthropic owes for copying and storing over seven million pirated books

You just need to audit their system. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.

Pirating a book and selling it on claude.ai is stealing, both legally and morally. Pirating 7 million books, remixing their content, and using that to make money on Claude.ai is like counterfeiting 7 million branded products and selling the

You should ask the teachers who spent years writing those books.

With Claude, people are paying Anthropic to access answers that are generated from pirated books, without the authors permission, credit, or compensation.

Those claims were never proved.

:D Note: My definition of singularity isn't the one they use in San Francisco. It's the moment founders who stole the life's work of thousands of teachers finally go to prison, and their datacentres get seized.

There's no credible evidence Spotify built their company and business on pirated music. This is a narrative that gets passed around in certain circles to justify stealing content.

No. There's no credible evidence Spotify had any secret second company that allowed users to back up and share music without authorisation

It was the opposite. Their mission was to combat music piracy by offering a better, legal alternative. Daniel Ek said: "my mission is to make music accessible and legal to everyone, while ensuring artists and rights holders got paid&qu

He downloaded millions of academic articles and the government charged him with multiple felonies. The difference is, Aaron Swartz wasn't planning to build massive datacenters with expensive Nvidia servers all over the world.

The problem with this thinking is that hundreds of thousands of teachers who spent years writing great, useful books and sharing knowledge and wisdom probably won't sue a billion dollar company for stealing their work. What they'l

Someone on Twitter said: "Oh well, P2P mp3 downloads, although illegal, made contributions to the music industry" That's not what's happening here. People weren't downloading music illegally and reselling it on Clau

These are the people shaping the future of AI? What happened to all the ethical values they love to preach about? We've held China accountable for counterfeiting products for decades and regulated their exports. So why should Anthropic
