A good example of the problem with this settlement:
>It appears that LLMs have already incorporated APOSD EDIT: The text of the book _A Philosophy of Software Design_ ENDEDIT (which would seem to be illegal, since it is copyrighted). For example, I have asked ChatGPT questions about APOSD and it seems to be able to answer.

- raverbashing 3mo agoI don't see: - what's APOSD - "it's illegal since it's copyrighted" makes no sense to me - The settlement should be exactly to cover their licenses for training
- WillAdams 3mo agoEdited to clarify APOSD == the book _A Philosophy of Software Design_ Please ask John Ousterhout what his cut of this settlement will be, and whether or no he agreed to it and finds it acceptable.
- raverbashing 3mo agoYeah ask him how much he gets paid for one copy of the book, I assure you it's not much If he's not getting a cut of this settlement then that's between him and his publisher.
- WillAdams 3mo agoYes, but what is the calculus of 1 copy of book divided amongst number of copies/usages of LLM which reference said material? That's the innate disparity and unfairness here --- time was when one made a design which was physically instantiated and replicated, the copies would wear out and one would then earn money again on replacement copies --- this is just another example of the commons and other resources being grabbed by profiteers who use them to make money as opposed for public benefit.
