You're just now learning about corporate capitalism?
Its always been socialize the losses, and capitalize the gains. And all the while, legislating rules to block upstart companies.
Its never ever been "fair". He who has the most gold makes the rules.
This is extra ridiculous even for "capitalism".
It would be like if Carnegie Steel somehow could have prohibited people from buying their steel in order to build a steel mill.
And moreover in this case the entire industry as it exists today wouldn't exist without massive copyright infringement, so it's double-extra ironic because Anthropic came into existence in order to make money off of breaking other people's rules, and now they want to set up their own rules.
Does it follow then, that we should socialize our losses and ignore their TOS? It looks like yet again - fortune favors those who ask forgiveness later.
