alt Hacker NewsI agree, someone certainly has the right to have an incorrect understanding of that the word "wrong" means.
To be fair when someone tries to shift the meaning of words everyone doesn't just have to go with it to appease the large corporations trying to do that. I of course don't mean intellectual property rights or copyright infringement, you can perhaps apply the word "steal" there, not when talking about LLM traces which are currently legally uncopyrightable, though. Unless we're actually talking about someone breaking into Anthropic's servers and stealing their files, then again... if you do that you can always just blame the LLM you used.
"Stealing" in the OP merely refers to the lack of intent in sharing the plaintext traces.
This is the same use as "the baseball player stole third base". Nobody is depriving anyone of anything, nobody is committing a crime. It is simply: someone has obtained something in a way someone else did not intend.
There's no legal claim being made here, you have made it up.
