> The idea that you can't reverse engineer things, make things, learn about biology or physics without permission is strange to me. These machines have been trained on the sum intellectual output of humanity, the global intellectual commons, and are being used to close off that commons?

I mean this is the standard of biochem research right now. You can't just order 50 gallons of TNT off Amazon and neither can you get live viruses from a lab just because you want to do research.

OK, so then no problem, why are Anthropic restricting my ability to learn and reason?

		Because they can and there is no law against it. And really they aren't restricting any of that. I've never had Claude stop me from going to the library and reading a book. You don't have a legal right to do anything you want with their model. And if you don't like that you are going to have to convince politicians to enact new laws to change that.
