Fun fact: Three of my books are included in the class-action lawsuit where Anthropic agreed to pay authors for illegally downloading and using content to train those models, which are now being illegally distilled in China 😛

Anthropic says DeepSeek, MiniMax, and Moonshot violated its ToS by prompting Claude a combined 16M+ times and using distillation to train their own products

After criticism, Apple says iOS 17.4 won't stop supporting Home Screen web apps in the EU and they will still be built on WebKit and its security architecture

BTW, after the initial reaction of the reversal decision, it's important to highlight that Apple also confirmed that alternative browsers won't be able to execute installed PWAs, even if the user installed them from that alternative browser.  I'm not yet sure if that's: 1) a final Apple decision, based on a new legal idea that DMA requirements actually never applied for them, or 2) a temporary decision while they find a technical solution for the problem

Here, you can see what some users in EU countries are seeing around PWA usage with iOS 17.4 beta 2. If this behavior stays, it will be terrible not just for the web platform but also for users as they won't be able to access their data and notifications from the installed PWAs.
