You're probably right. I've been thinking about why anthropic's revenue keeps soaring. I think in terms of "new users trying the product" we're definitely somewhere in the slowing part of the S-curve (at least

I've got no idea who codewall is. Is there acknowledgment from McKinsey that they actually patched the issue referenced? I don't see any reference to "codewall ai" in any news article before yesterday and there's no

putting aside the obvious gender-based prejudice in this comment- since when did the view that "humans should be in the loop before murderbots target and kill someone" become a "naive moral absolutist view of the world"?

Yeah, that's possible, but seems to me more about contract law and creating an EULA for the code, than it is about copyright-derived enforcement. maybe 'copyleft' stuff will move in that direction. it's barely tangential

You can't change the law with a license agreement and redefine what constitutes a derivative work. If that was possible, people could have done it pre-LLMs. also how would you prove it was in the training set? re: your last sentence, t

the claude contract was only 100M/year. about 0.7% of Claude's 14B revenue run rate. Not sure we know anything about the number for openai's new contract.
