"Anthropic has agreed to pay at least $1.5 billion to settle a lawsuit brought by a group of book authors alleging copyright infringement, an estimated $3,000 per work. The amount is well below what Anthropic may have had to pay if it had lost the case at trial. Experts said the plaintiffs may have been awarded at least billions of dollars in damages, with some estimates placing the total figure over $1 trillion."

Fuck their fucking insulting-ass settlement. They need to take this shit all the way and utterly break the AI industry while we still can.

And to quote highplainsdem from that same topic:

"As I've said before, I'd like to see the AI companies sued out of existence. And all AI models trained on stolen copyrighted work destroyed, to be replaced only by models trained on what's in the public domain, plus whatever copyrighted work the company has obtained a legal right to use, in advance of the training.

$3,000 for a book is a joke. At a minimum, it should be whatever the book earned the author(s), adjusted for inflation to an equivalent amount in 2025."
