Episode notes
Reddit Sues Anthropic for Scraping
- Reddit is suing Anthropic for scraping data without permission and violating their terms of service.
- This case marks one of the first major legal challenges by a tech company against an AI model provider for data use.
Big Tech’s Legal Approach Varies
- Most big tech companies with AI models are not suing over data use due to gray legal areas and their own data access.
- Reddit stands out as a company without its own AI, thus pursuing legal action to protect its data rights.
Reddit’s Licensing Strategy
- Reddit earns significant revenue from licensing deals with Google and OpenAI for its data.
- It expects Anthropic to also negotiate such a licensing deal rather than scraping data without consent.
