"AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry."
Win win.
I just registered my name & book details with the appropriate law firm.

I have see people suggest it is better to lodge a separate lawsuit with your own damages payable.
I'm not a lawyer, but I do want to see OpenAI pay appropriately for what they took, and not get to hand wave it away in a class action settlement.
Industry coerces lawmakers/courts into magically voiding their liability in 3...2...1...
(Of course, this now means the weight of scrutiny will fall on OpenAI, Meta, and other thieves—with an unfavourable precedent, too …)
Oh that's lovely! Doesn't obviate the possibility of a more aggressive response, but that is a lovely outcome!
