Anthropic trained Claude on MILLIONS of pirated books from LibGen. They paid 1.5 billion dollars, the biggest copyright settlement in history for stealing millions of authors books from pirate sites to train Claude.
Copyright violations were totally fine when they did it. They called themselves the ethical AI kings. The second their own Claude code leaked, they slammed instant DMCA takedowns on 8,000+ GitHub copies.
HYPOCRISY MAXED OUT!

@AlexKleeman So true, I was working with machine learning in 1990. I don’t think anyone who understands what they are thinks they are in any way intelligent - but these companies spent billions on adding filters so they interject snippets to make them ‘seem’ intelligent. It is a total scam

LLMs have been around for decades, I was in cog sci and nobody thought they were a pathway to general intelligence. The fact that they are being passed off as that right now is straightforward fraud.
Merryn Somerset Webb@MerrynSW
What if the whole LLM thing is a false start? If the flaws are inherent systemic problems - if the compounding of hallucinations/errors can't be sorted out? If the capex build out is one of the biggest misallocations of capital ever? Then what? bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

@ABridgen I can only comment from personal experience, but for me the police are inept and lawless. They’ll arrest a pensioner for Facebook but won’t even bother to show up to a break in. In the last 20 years I’ve gone from profound respect to a concerted loathing. Imo

@ArchiveExplorer This is true, if you watch what Claude code does, it’s all trial and error - a massive token drain. There are better tools but you need to work ‘with’ them instead of just leave it to dick about until it compiles.

"Claude usage limit reached. Your limit will reset at 7pm"
every. fucking. day.
was about to pay $200 for Max. then I read this article
98.5% of tokens - wasted
you're not paying for answers. you're paying for Claude to re-read its own homework 30 times
spent months blaming Anthropic for being greedy. turns out the problem was how I write prompts
5 minutes of reading
basic plan now handles more than my old Max

@hayes_nata3 Just change the prompt dummy. ….with shorter hair 🙄

@TheTrekCentral Startrek is so easy to write for, an endless universe of existing arcs and themes combined with literally anything. Gotta keep it in the genre and stick with good vs evil and best of the best but then you just write. Oh and of course do not go total woketard on it.

🔥 Quick! YOU get to develop a NEW #StarTrek series. Tell us about it!
Even though we're celebrating the #StarTrek60 Anniversary this year, the future remains clouded right now - but what would you like the next series/movie to look like?

@icanvardar It’s not, but people well
Past the honeymoon period of being amazed at how good it is, are now moving into the long and enviable why the fook can’t it get it right period… imo

@igor_os777 We still have 2 DLT6 libraries for archives and will probably have them in a decade or more. Tar was originally for streaming tape but that was a very long time ago and like everything unix, a tape is just a file.
English

Unix’s tar command—short for “tape archive”—is infamous for confusing rookies who’ve never touched a magnetic tape cartridge. Even today, countless newbies naively run tar commands with odd flags, having no idea they’re emulating ancient, spool-driven tape archives from a bygone computing era. Ask a fresh sysadmin about tapes, and they’ll stare blankly. Yet their fingers instinctively type tar xvf, carrying forward a fossilized command structure—like mechanical muscle-memory left behind by generations of now-retired Unix greybeards.

@jatroa @RossKempsell @Proper_Memes That’s not unique to ofcom, companies urinate all over GDPR because ICO don’t care, and scammers just go about their business because OFCOM don’t care - too busy threatening American companies and making the uk a laughing stock.
English

@RossKempsell @Proper_Memes And it’s impressive public defence stats?
grok do your thing..
What are the chances of a member of the public having their complaint fully upheld?
Stats : 70k complaints .
Whittled down to those Ofcom will investigate
Answer 2 😧
Example:BBC

English

Ofcom’s weird structure means it behaves more like a private enterprise than a public regulator, despite its statutory powers. A media regulator should not be donating money - even its own revenues - to favoured media companies telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@jondelarroz Why do you have to stick labels on everything, part time job in a quick-mart maybe?
It was genuinely good TV,
With strong stories, great characters and well cast. That’s it.

@DavidFischer God it was a frustrating bloody game especially on the Philips cd-I !

@JohnCleese You can’t fix this, the police are a law to no one but themselves
English

@SBarrettBar Haven’t watched it but those who have said it was garbage. People are angry and the government don’t care and just blame the far right or whatever today’s excuse is.
English

@MalePsychology @BBC Literally no one cares what the BBC do anymore.
English

The @BBC has been part of the culture of devaluing boys and masculinity for a long time.
They say 'you should express your feelings', but really it's about time we all listened to boys instead of trying to shut them up all the time centreformalepsychology.com/male-psycholog…

@digitalshane_ I asked Claude Opus to write a simple extension for thunderbird.
As someone who writes extensions, I looked at what it had created for the low price of $7 and I was amazed and surprised at how… shit it was.
The only people who think AI can write code are people who can’t code.

@LisaBritton Really don’t understand the need to draw pictures all over your body. Then again I don’t understand the need to stick metal in your face. one bonus is that it’s easy to avoid the nuggets without needing to talk to them first.

Women are now more tattooed than men. Thoughts?
Alex@notcomplex_
Tattoos have become far more popular over time, especially among women, who are now more tattooed than men.

@PhilipPetrunak @PureRinFunction It can save time doing html layouts, data conversion, and documentation, but it can only write code if you’re not an experienced engineer.
English

@PureRinFunction I've asked AI to do quick scripts before to just automate tasks and it's come back to bit me before.
Often because it doesn't understand point of the code or it does something completely unnecessary I didn't fucking ask for, like making everything lowercase for some reason.
