Episode Synopsis

Join Josh and Will as they dive deep into the messy world of AI training and copyright law! This week, we're unpacking the Anthropic lawsuit that's got everyone talking - and we accidentally recreate 1984 in the process (oops!). What we discovered: When we asked Claude to rewrite Orwell's classic in a modern context, things got... uncomfortably derivative. Are AI companies walking a legal tightrope? Should you be worried about using AI tools? We're processing it all live on air.Head over to our website at ⁠⁠⁠hitechpod.us⁠⁠⁠ for all of our episode pages, send some support at ⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee⁠⁠, our ⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠, our ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠, and to see our faces (maybe skip the last one).Need a journal that's secure and reflective?
