Ⓜ️ Meta is reportedly telling engineers to be careful with Claude and Codex and the reason is surprisingly simple: AI can “catch” another AI’s knowledge. According to reports, Meta has restricted the use of Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex for some engineering work to avoid contaminating its own AI training data. Here’s the concern: if Meta’s future models are trained on outputs generated by rival AIs, competitors could argue Meta distilled their models instead of developing its own. Both OpenAI and Anthropic prohibit using their AI outputs to build competing models. That doesn’t mean engineers can’t use these tools for everyday coding. The key is keeping those outputs completely separate from anything that could end up training, evaluating, or improving Meta’s own AI. The biggest legal risks would likely come from deliberate behavior such as mass scraping, automated extraction, or knowingly using competitors’ outputs as training data not casual productivity use. @aipost 🏴
