I'm looking forward to the trial where Anthropic will have to disclose sources of their training data, and then explain why they are entitled to charging customers for using regurgitated training data but Alibaba which trains their models on Anthropic's models are not.

Should be fun.

Edit: clarification

They already did and paid 1.5B https://authorsguild.org/advocacy/artificial-intelligence/wh...

While I love the sentiment, I feel like the odds of this actually ever reaching a trial are low, given the international positioning of the parties, and the... um... complex relationships involved.

Anthropic's actions seem performative. Others have already speculated on the likely audience(s).

Being logically consistent isn’t as profitable as being aggressive and loud.
