kccqzy | on: Anthropic requires 30 day data retention for Fable and Mythos
That’s exactly what my employer had communicated. It will not be allowed.

Step 1: Find all companies which refuses/bans to use SOTA models from irrational fear.

Step 2: Use SOTA models to copy them and crush them

Step 3: Profit.

(Yes, not every business is easily replicable, but you sure can find some)

This. And AI labs seem to be above IP / Copyright law and absolutely nothing will happen to them when they grab all the data and package it up.

Until all of your interactions are trained into future model releases, and another competitor steps in and takes all your "R&D" straight out of the model.

Now it's open season for literally anyone.

This policy change doesn't allow training, just like the previous one.

Step 4, get sued because you violated an NDA or other regulation?

I'm not talking about Claude copying.

I'm talking about scouring Twitter/LinkedIn and look at posts from employees who say SOTA model is banned. Look at what the business do. Copy it using SOTA. Call their clients with 30% discount and faster turnaround and higher quality product.

It is complicated, but I can get Private Equity of even VCs to fund this idea.

tl;dr -- I'm actually agreeing with you. Anthropic will never copy your business model due to NDA. But there are plenty of fearmongering about they copying you and because of which you won't use their models. If their models are genuinely SOTA you can use that information to your advantage and crush scaredy-cats.

Edit: The fact that these get downvoted is exactly the reason why it's easy to win

The thing is, just like employees at non-AI forward companies "cheat," by using their personal Claude.ai and ChatGPT.com, so will big companies, or at least some teams/departments regarding this Fable issue. LLMs might be new, but it is known that this kind of behavior is classic.

As you said, if they don't, they will be easy pickings.

To be very clear, I ain't that guy. So, if this is true, I might be somewhat easy pickins myself. But, well known trust is a huge part of our org's value prop with our clients. God this sucks.

Can you name a single example of a business that has been replaced by another business leveraging LLMs to copy and "crush" their software?

Pretty much any Chinese business. (Except takeouts and laundries)
