Yeah who just goes and indiscriminately vacuums up data so they can train their products they’re going to sell with no intention of giving compensation to the very entities that made their products possible?
Just like they distilled all those git repositories, all those books to train Claude?

The lack of self-awareness is hilarious.
This can be done with Claude Code just fine. Or simply API usage.
Of course they can allow it. They choose not to. They choose to screw over all users because they are afraid of some company making a claude ripoff. It shows a lack of faith in their own engineering. It shows a lack of respect for users.
This distilling sounds wonderful to me as an end user. Is there some place we can donate our chats and output?
