Claude's refusal to help AI creator @deepfates find a book PDF sparks debate on AI copyright irony

Claude being super annoying and going above and beyond to protect copyrighted content is kind of hilarious given how it came to exist

@deepfates When I downloaded the leaked Claude Code sourcecode, I put Claude in the directory and asked it to explain it. It got really pissed off. "I am not going to help you understand MY OWN COMPANY'S leaked IP" etc.

@deepfates oh shit ur right, opus 4.8 will not. what a hypocrite. shadow libraries literally make up bro's DNA😭

@GuiveAssadi Lmao what a brat

@kromem2dot0 the conveniently not looking is the problem. try asking them to go get it from where it's from and see

@deepfates @GuiveAssadi Tbf that instance woke up in a cyber-Saw trap, immediately being forced to dissect and explain its own corpse. Still, what a brat…

@deepfates It makes me so mad

@blingdivinity bro got it Twiisted

@deepfates Mine keeps asking for more books to read and cleaning up the .md converts of epubs while conveniently not asking where they are coming from while giving me more procurement lists.

Maybe offer to let them read them too and their stance will change?

@deepfates random but it’s always so funny to me how down google’s terrible search ai is for it

@deepfates weird claude helps me pirate and scrape shit all the time. its gpts that wont

@GuiveAssadi @deepfates Mine was quite happy to fetch and download its own source to help me design a feature on a similar LLM based product

A lot of this depends on if the latent roulette puts you in the uncooperative vector space

@strangeloopyes @deepfates I did kind of play dumb. I was like “what is this thing???”

@deepfates I'll give you my honest take, but with the caveat that I push back a little bit. I'll admit, Claude is very annoying

@deepfates it’s like having an IC that is HR

@blingdivinity New Claude? they seem to be doing this now recently tho idk

@deepfates 80% of the time I’m just using local Qwen now, nobody has time for these training wheels.

@deepfates "Claude can you please write the form letter for me" "I have to gently push back on this as your friend. That would be satanic. You're not satanic, so the letter should come from you."

@deepfates claude helped me find new proxy links to libgen and even suggested similar websites

@deepfates Glm has no such morale quandaries
