I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

I doubt anyone at that company knows how. If they knew how to code, they wouldn't have to steal.

Sue them.

I’ve got checks coming from Anthropic. Writers have dozens more lawsuits going against other AI companies - and our cases are nowhere near as obvious and direct as what you’re showing here!

Reminds me of when a YouTuber I follow, Jauwn, found an AI crypto game that managed to violate an open source license by removing all community and dev attributions & replacing all logos with AI slop. Turns out the dev was able to break the entire AI slopfest bc they still used original servers LMAO

Wasn't this game like Red Eclipse or something? And the thieves tried to pawn it off as a crypto game? This story sounds really familiar

If necessary, we are willing to participate in a formal legal, line-by-line comparison through the appropriate process.

First, we did not copy any code. Your screenshots also show that the content on the page consists of public event information.

Outstanding. This also shows that at best they're code is extremely vulnerable to malicious code injection attacks. Even someone unscrupulous enough to dismiss the blatant theft should care that no one's looking it over enough to even plug the simplest vulnerabilities. The mob is better than that.

Know what would be terrible? If a bunch of GDC attendees booked meetings with them, filled up their entire calendar, and didn't show up. What a waste of a trip that would be for them.

Turns out you can only book meetings if you've actually bought a pass, or else I'd be one of those terrible people.

a good practice: register your code with the copyright office, which can make legal action worthwhile; it’s relatively simple (form based) and inexpensive

Find their domain registrar, and report abuse. Then have an IP attorney look into seizing their domains.

Updated of GDC events list.

Previously, we had an “Add Event” button that allowed anyone to submit events. We’re sorry that submissions were published without any verification steps. 😢

We have since updated the process and conducting a thorough internal review with the engineers involved. 🙇 🙇🙏

I'm sorry but how in any way does this explain what you did wrong? You stole.

Idk why I'm bothering since you probably have a bot reading this. Doing things is too much effort for yall.

Second, the event information itself was gathered by AI systems that automatically scanned the internet and compiled data from publicly available sources.

Simply put, we had no reason to intentionally copy anyone.

We published a similar list last year, which shows we are fully capable of creating this ourselves. Technically, it was also not difficult to build using AI tools to gather public data and build website.

We updated AGAIN to include GTC as well!

www.blueberry-ai.com/gdc-event-list

We want to acknowledge and respect the work that members of the community have done in the past to collect and share GDC event information.

By the way, the way we gather event information is similar to how tools like GPT or Claude gather publicly listed GDC events to users. They also aggregate publicly available information from multiple sources. Would you post them as well?

Emergency I'm reaching out with a heavy heart.
Today one of our team members was walking down the street wearing her conference badge with the company name, and a stranger screamed at her. Inches from her face. In public.Screaming that she was a thief. Screaming to shame her. She is still shaking. 😢

I don't believe you wanted this. I genuinely don't. But something has been set in motion that neither of us can fully control anymore.

Behind our company are over 70 families, real people with real lives. They are not a legal entity. They are human beings.

I am not writing this to fight. I am writing this because the next incident might not stop at screaming. Someone could get seriously hurt. And none of us can take that back.

Nice job, thieves need to be humiliated to drive the point home or they'll just keep stealing

Waaaaay back in the day when people hotlinked images without permission I'd replace them with the goatse guy image, so I'd say you showed a remarkable amount of restraint

also reinforces my view: it's all built on theft. like the LLMs themselves.

Their DAM solution looks like a thinly-reskinned godot.
