⚖️ Reddit Sues Anthropic for AI Training Without Permission

Reddit has filed a groundbreaking lawsuit accusing Anthropic of illegally scraping its platform to train AI models, marking the first time a major tech platform has taken legal action over AI training data use.  The case seeks both financial compensation and an injunction to stop further use of Reddit data.

The Shift:

1. Over 100K unauthorized server hits - Reddit claims Anthropic’s scraper bots accessed its servers more than 100,000 times, despite Anthropic stating it had blocked them. These actions allegedly violated Reddit’s robots.txt protocols, which signal AI crawlers to stop. 

2. Anthropic broke ranks with Reddit’s trusted AI partners - Reddit has licensing deals with OpenAI and Google, giving them permission to use Reddit data under terms that safeguard user privacy. But when Reddit approached Anthropic with a similar offer, the company refused to engage. 

3. Evidence of unauthorized training - According to the complaint, Anthropic previously admitted to using Reddit data, with its Claude chatbot often referencing subreddit posts in its responses. Reddit asserts this is clear proof that its content was used to train Anthropic’s models. 

This suit follows similar lawsuits filed by The New York Times, authors, and music publishers over AI model training on copyrighted content. With Anthropic facing mounting scrutiny and OpenAI’s Sam Altman owning an 8.7% stake in Reddit, the case could expose deeper rivalries in the AI race.

🎨  Creating Anything With Flowith Neo Step-by-Step Guide 

Flowith Neo is now open to everyone, and using it is surprisingly simple. Whether you’re building a 3D scene, webpage, music loop, or animated video, the workflow is built around natural prompts and an infinite canvas. Here’s exactly how to get started and create your first AI-powered masterpiece:

✅ Step-by-Step: Using Flowith Neo

1. Download the Flowith Neo app (iOS only for now)

• Go to the App Store and search for Flowith Neo

• Install the app and create a free account

• You’ll get $34 in free credits immediately

2. Enter the Infinite Canvas

• Open the app and tap on the “+” to start a new canvas

• You’ll see a blank screen and a chat-like prompt input at the bottom
  This canvas is where all generations live: text, image, code, audio, video, and more

3. Type Your Prompt

Example prompts:

• “Create a futuristic coffee shop in low-poly 3D”

• “Generate a jazz music loop for a noir-themed game”

• “Build a landing page for a smartwatch product with CTA and pricing section”

Flowith will decide the right generator and place the result in the canvas.

4. Click + Interact With Outputs

• Tap on any generated asset to move, resize, edit, or give follow-up commands

• You can fork elements, ask for variants, or use the “Extend” tool to expand your canvas logic

5. Chain Creations Together

• Example: Generate a product → Generate ad copy → Turn it into a video → Add background music

• You don’t need to open new tabs, all steps happen inside your canvas space

Pro Tip: Use Flowith’s “Reactor Mode” to link ideas together dynamically. It’s perfect for creators building interactive stories, games, or product journeys. Flowith Neo isn’t just a tool, it’s a full-on imagination engine.

🧠 ChatGPT Adds Meeting Recording, Drive Integration, and Deep Research Tools

OpenAI just turned ChatGPT into a full-service enterprise assistant. With new connectors for cloud storage, meeting recordings, and model context protocol (MCP) support, the tool now extends far beyond chat and code. 

The Shift:

1. ChatGPT connects to Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, and more - Business users can now link ChatGPT with services like Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, and SharePoint, allowing it to search across internal files to build investment theses, answer questions, or pull supporting documents. 

2. Meeting mode transcribes, summarizes, and suggests actions - The new “record mode” transcribes meetings and voice notes with time-stamped citations and suggested next steps. Action items can be converted into Canvas projects for coding, writing, or follow-ups. 

3. Deep Research gets custom connectors and MCP support - Connectors now link to platforms like Outlook, HubSpot, and Linear, and Pro, Team, and Enterprise users can build custom MCP-based connections, enabling deep cross-platform querying and automated research reports using both private and web data. 

4. ChatGPT now powers 3M+ business subscriptions - OpenAI reported 3 million business users across Enterprise, Team, and Edu tiers, up from 2 million in February. 

OpenAI isn’t just building an AI assistant, it’s building the new default workspace. By deeply integrating with documents, meetings, cloud tools, and research pipelines, ChatGPT is slowly absorbing the use cases of half a dozen SaaS tools.
