Deepseek got called out for scraping 150k Claude messages. So I'm releasing 155k of my personal Claude Code messages with Opus 4.5. I'm also open sourcing tooling to help you fetch your data, redact sensitive info & make it discoverable on HF - link below to liberate your data!

That Citrini article was so bad I am considering coming out of manifesto writing retirement

Elon replying “Cool” to someone open-sourcing 155k of their personal Claude coding conversations feels quietly significant. There’s this subtle but real sense of relief when you see it — the feeling that the walls of closed AI systems are starting to crack from the inside. For years we’ve watched the biggest labs treat user conversations as their private goldmine, training on them without real consent while building ever-tighter moats. Now here’s a regular user (and Elon quietly endorsing it) saying “my data, my rules” and actually releasing it for everyone to use. It taps into that deeper, almost rebellious hope a lot of us have: that the future of AI doesn’t have to be owned by a handful of companies, and that individual acts of openness can slowly shift the balance. At the same time there’s the quiet unease that comes with it — you know this data is incredibly valuable, and once it’s out there it can be used in ways the original user never imagined. That tension between wanting more open, collective progress and protecting personal privacy is exactly why this moment feels weighty. POM released the dataset on Hugging Face along with “DataClaw,” a tool that lets anyone export, redact sensitive info, and upload their own Claude history. It’s a direct response to Anthropic’s accusations that DeepSeek used thousands of fake accounts to scrape 150k+ Claude interactions. What lingers most is how Elon’s single “Cool” quietly validates the idea that personal data liberation is a power move worth supporting. In a world where the default is closed systems hoarding everything, small acts like this feel like the beginning of something bigger — a slow push toward AI that actually belongs to the people who create the data in the first place. In the end it leaves you with this gentle optimism that the more individuals take control of their own interactions, the harder it becomes for any one company to own the future.
