Dev on AI labs scooping research: 'Everyone trains on all of it, it's meaningless'
ctjlewis · x · 2026-09-09
In a debate over OpenAI potentially training on researchers' public work and scooping credit, developer ctjlewis argues OpenAI's admission that it 'may have used the data' is overly honest but unavoidable: everything public, from chats to papers, goes into the next run — same for Anthropic. 'It's meaningless. Everyone trains on all of it.' The other side counters that faster AI labs are a good thing and researchers should just speed up.
