"AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry."

Win win.

@cavyherd @Richard_Littler Aksherly, Anthropic AI *already caved*—they admitted liability, it's not going to trial, what's happening now is wrangling over the size of damages and who is involved in the settlement.

(Of course, this now means the weight of scrutiny will fall on OpenAI, Meta, and other thieves—with an unfavourable precedent, too …)
