Similar to improving an independent search engine by scraping Google search results and learning from it. Shady but legit

I am sorry, but companies doing biggest IP theft in history have no moral right to complain here.

Good. I'm glad. Keep it up, China. Loving my cheap GLM and DeepSeek.

Another day, another excuse as to why Fable 5 was pulled. Just waiting for Anthropic saying the Persona partnership was the fault of the Chinese.

Anthropic training their models full of copyright data, so?

> Meanwhile, on June 12, two days after Anthropic sent the letter, the Commerce Department imposed controversial restrictions on Anthropic's latest Mythos and Fable AI models because officials feared they could be deployed by military intelligence users in China and other countries of concern.

So that was the real reason for the Fable restriction? Because Anthropic wrote a letter to the US government saying that China was distilling Fable?

Gosh, overusing accounts running up unplanned-for expenses?

Kinda reminds me of...overusage charges and inflated expenses clients have had to deal with because Anthropic, OpenAI, Grok, etc have been "illicitly extracting" everything they can grab from said websites, as fast as they can. In what amounts to a DDOS, frankly.

lol. good for the chinese. I hope their models get better than the closed american ones quick so we can stop using "controlled" models.
