Writers and publishers need to band together to lobby against OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, fighting for proper compensation and a share of AI's value
https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... June Casagrande / @junecasagrande@mastodon.social : Damn right it needs to stop. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... [image] X: @nelsonmrosario : @WilliamCohan Excellent op-ed. As the body of authors grows the big cos are going to have to figure out some sort of royalty/revenue share that makes sense or suffer death by a thousand lawsuits. William D.
