> People infringe on Anthropics IP

Unless someone literally stole the weights somehow (which is not out of the question, I doubt either oAI/Anthropic have the capabilities to prevent a state-level actor getting those weights), distillation from generations is not infringement on anyone's IP nor is it stealing nor is it an attack. It can't be. As long as you pay for tokens you get to do whatever you want with them. Someone saying you can't doesn't mean it's an attack or their IP or whatever. They either sell the tokens or not. They can decide to not sell them to anyone, but again that's not stealing.

And their ToS are a joke. Imagine how people would react if MS had ToS saying that you can't use MS software to develop solutions that compete with MS. They'd be laughed out of the room. Somehow it's ok for token sellers to decide what you do with the tokens? Why? If you pay for something you get to do whatever you want with that output. Train, distill, whatever.

Its definitely an attack. Thats established from anthropics perspective. No one has a right to use Anthropic’s services in ways that directly violate the ToS and user agreements.
