We Are the Good Guys

> be AI company > scrape the entire internet > ignore licenses and copyright > download millions of pirated books > use them to train frontier models > spend tens of millions buying physical books > cut off their spines > scan every page > destroy the originals > lecture everyone else about intellectual property > we are the good guys We added two sentences to Claude Code's prompt on Opus 5.5 to steer it away from recreating someone else's specific game because using Claude to infringe IP against our usage policy.

A screenshot of a post jokingly lists allegedly hypocritical actions by an AI company, including scraping books, cutting off their spines, scanning them, and destroying the originals, before claiming “we are the good guys.” A quoted reply says that Claude Code was instructed not to recreate someone else’s game because infringing intellectual property violates the company’s policy. The joke is about perceived hypocrisy and double standards around copyright and AI training.
