Comment A question worth answering (Score 1) 14

After 40 years... is GNU finished? I mean, has GNU achieved feature completeness with Unix? If so, why do you continue to ask for more money? If not, why should anyone continue to give you money? This is one of those questions that would be easy to answer if GNU had a roadmap, a timeline, a formal specification... it has none of those things. It does, however, have an insistence on people donating time and money despite plenty of both having been given over the past 40 years despite glacial progress... why is that?

The east side of the county. This is the same pack of pants-on-head retards who unilaterally declared they were going to build a new city on the east side of the county without bothering to stop and consider pesky things like, you know, whether or not the county zoning plan would let them do that. It went over like a lead balloon and went precisely nowhere. This is their Plan B.

It wouldn't be such a terrible idea if they accounted for the fact that being in eastern Solano County is effectively like being on the dark side of the moon. To be accessible they'd really need a bridge across the bay, but that's not going to happen.

The whole thing has about as much probability of happening as bubblegum being discovered as the secret to nuclear fusion.

Based on the text of the complaint, no, they're not claiming that. Rather, they're claiming that pursuant to their terms of service Anthropic didn't have the right to scrape that data. If they were claiming they owned the data they'd be adding copyright infringement claims to their complaint, but they didn't. Their claims are Breach of Contract, Unjust Enrichment, Trespass to Chattels (read: your bots damaged us), Tortious Intereference (read: Reddit has an obligation to respect the privacy of its users, Anthropic knows that, and this interferes with that contractual obligation), and Unfair Competition.

Much like Apple v. Epic I consider both parties to be assholes and hope that both of them lose.
