Nooooo, you can't train on OUR data! That's illegal!!!1

They stole to monetize without paying in money or attribution what we stole to monetize without paying money or attribution!

oh no, the data I stole is being stolen, whatever shall I do.

In other news, does anyone know a good source for crocodile tears? I ran out.

Okay, so Anthropic distills MY copywriter data and it’s fine.

Alibaba distills Anthropic non-copywritable and that demands retaliation at the nation state level.

Fuck off. The rules are abundantly clear.

Lol corporate thieves bitching about other corporate thieves is the funniest part of 2026

you can't just call anything you don't like "an attack"

Is there a scenario in which they both lose? I'll take that.

New Qwen release incoming!

Q: if you steal a stolen thng, is it stealing?

The thief cries "catch the thief!"

Claude's still there, seems Alibaba's attack wasn't really all it's cracked up to be.

Now the US gov's attack seems to be working since Claude Fable 5 is still not there.

Ai cloned the world. Please give me a break.

I heard there was some new AI model that was so amazing for cyber security that they had to limit access to it. It's just too bad Anthropic couldn't use that.

The article is not clear on what a "distillation attack" is... what exactly is Alibaba supposed to be getting away with here? The article mentions using many different connections through obfuscation networks and proxies... so that would get them around rate limiting, and maybe enable them to submit many queries on free accounts... just spin up a new account whenever you hit the token limit of an unpaid account. So basically it's a terms of service violation?

I don't see why it's necessarily a huge leg up for a competitor... they are just using the outputs of another model as training data. They still need to train their model, which is the expensive and energy intensive part.

It sounds to me like Anthropic just wants the US Government to help enforce its TOS internationally and force Alibaba to pay for those precious tokens? Because apart from that piece, the "attack" just seems like normal use of the service. If Anthropic's service has an inherent vulnerability, that's their problem.

Of course all the other comments about how they stole all their training data in the first place are spot on.

Maybe they can protect themselves with a.. great firewall of USA?

Enclosure or inclosure[a] is a term, used in English landownership, that refers to the appropriation of "waste"[b] or "common land"[c], enclosing it, and by doing so depriving commoners of their traditional rights of access and usage.

AI going after their few paying costumers

What's the science behind cloning?

What's a suitable punishment Anthropic?

(chasing) Whats a suitable punishment motherfucker?
