I Wasn't Sure I Wanted Anthropic to Pay Me for My Books--I Do Now

I Wasn't Sure I Wanted Anthropic to Pay Me for My Books--I Do Now Anthropic agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement for authors whose books were used to train its AI model. As an author who fits that description, I've come around to the idea. A billion dollars isn't what it used to be--but it still focuses the mind. At least it did for me when I heard that the AI company Anthropic agreed to an at least $1.5 billion settlement This came after a judge issued a summary judgement that it had pirated the books it used. The proposed agreement--which is still under scrutiny by the wary judge--would reportedly grant authors a minimum $3,000 per book.
