Anthropic paid a large settlement for the copyrighted data they pirated. So far, US courts have found that it's perfectly fine to train AIs on copyrighted data for which you have legal access.
- JSR_FDED 3mo agoI’ve always considered this a token gesture. They paid $3000 each to 500,000 authors. Doesn’t change the fact that each author’s blood sweat and tears were the input to their machine, and they can make money on the output of that machine in perpetuity.
