I personally bristle at the corporate espionage and IP theft that China has undertaken the last few decades. I can't help but respond here whenever anyone brings up the inane comparison to Samuel Slater.
But with this, I don't have an issue. There is no theft since what is being used is the exact product that is being delivered. Yes, it's breaking the ToS, but ToS are generally bullshit. Anthropic surely broke thousands of ToS or other legal terms while it was scraping for content to train on. Which is why they had to pay $1.5B

I get the feeling that this is widespread, but I usually only see articles about individuals that are linked to the PRC somehow (e.g. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-10/ex-apple-...), which is somewhat tenuous - the steelman argument is that they're just acting on behalf of their employer, not the country itself, and that this is corporate espionage, not economic warfare. Could you send me what you've seen so I can learn more?
