I'm starting to see signs other people are slowly coming the realization that AI companies have more enshittification cards in their hand.
I attended an Anthropic training hosted by Anthropic employees. During the presentation, on almost every slide, the trainer reiterated "If you're experiencing issues with the quality or correctness of the output, you can solve that by giving Claude more access to your internal documentation and intellectual property." Almost every answer to every question included "and make sure you give Claude full access to your files and identity so it see everything you see and act as you." As a nearly 30yr veteran of infosec, I assumed this was an advanced adversary attempting to exploit us. 😂
The AI companies _WILL_ eventually operate solely by extracting value from all their customers and business relationships for their shareholders. We already know what this looks like. Anyone bought an Amazon Basics product? Amazon tracks products that do well, they then rip off the design of those products and launch a cheaper version under the Amazon Basics brand.
"But, Brad, AI companies are more ethical than.. no wait, I heard it." Right, so, let's say you're Cursor. You announce a profit for the first time in your history. What happens next? OpenAI raises your rates to nullify your entire profit. This happened, in real life.
You're a math researcher working on a research problem with a prize using OpenAI for assistance. What happens next? OpenAI rips off all your work and uses it to train an expert model to solve the problem and win the prize. This happened.
Wake up, sheeple! 😂 If you have a good idea and use _any_ thirdparty AI service to create it, you are handing your work over to the AI companies and your competitors.
Legal precedent is AI generated code is not IP because a human didn't create it. But every line of code Claude or Codex generates for your proprietary application is stored on their servers for as long as they afford to save it.
As these companies pivot to IPO and beyond, just take a moment to consider the history of Silicon Valley and what their next steps are for further monetizing the data they're collecting on you.

@reyjrar@hachyderm.io my worry is if they go bankrupt and someone acquires their data, will they be bound by the terms between the liquidated company and its users?
It can turn into another 23andme

@reyjrar@hachyderm.io also a human did create the parts of the code.
If I take someone elses art, slap a few photos of other peoples art into the corner, and then sell it as my own. is that sufficient scrapbooking to qualify as 'my art'?
no of course not. but thats often what these generative llms are doing. (and the rest of the time its just a lot more scrapbooking than that)
i do not believe the rich and powerful will prosecute anyone if it doesn't benefit them, but i'm also not sure if enough of them who aren't llm-corps realize how badly they've been scammed. so something may come of that..

@reyjrar@hachyderm.io If you’re not paying for a service, you’re the product. -> If you are paying for a service, you’re still the product. -> What service? You’re the product.
