Wow!!!  Major news!!!  The judge in the Anthropic AI case is “concerned class lawyers are striking a deal behind the scenes that will be forced ‘down the throat of authors.’”  —  This is what myself and many other authors were saying about the settlement.  1/  —  news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/ anthr...

A US federal judge postpones Anthropic's $1.5B copyright settlement over concerns that class lawyers are striking a deal behind the scenes to force on authors

The federal judge overseeing Anthropic PBC's proposed $1.5 billion copyright settlement is concerned class lawyers are striking …

But that said, it doesn't appear that the judge is siding with the authors protesting the settlement.  Instead, the judge “said class members ‘get the shaft’ in many class actions once the monetary relief is established and attorneys stop caring.”  2/

The judge evidently told the parties that “very good notice” must be given to “class members to ensure they have the opportunity to opt in or out, and protect Anthropic from potential claimants coming out of the woodwork later.”  3/

Been going through the $1.5 billion Anthropic settlement.  First, the settlement is for $3,000 per work for 500,000 works.  —  Despite what this NYTimes article states, it is not for 500,000 authors. @nmamatas.bsky.social pointed this out and I confirmed it.  1/  —  www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/t...

Despite the headline, mixed ruling by a Federal judge in the Anthropic AI lawsuit.  Judge ruled using books to train the company's AI didn't violate copyright laws bc it fell under fair use by being “exceedingly transformative.”  I disagree with this interpretation.  1/  —  www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Meta says it's testing an “Imagine Yourself” feature announced in September that automatically generates AI images of a user and puts them into that user's feed
