Judge Alsup blasts ClaimsHero attempt to “trick” class authors to opt out in “a fraud of immense proportions.” Warns of case referral to the U.S. Attorney’s office. Things went horribly for Devin “Velvel” Freedman, counsel for ClaimsHero at today’s hearing. As we predicted before the hearing, things woulldn’t–and didn’t&#821…

WOW.

Authors: Have you been approached by groups like #claimshero?

If so drop a note in comments.

Meanwhile, blunt take from the judge:
"a blatant attempt by..ClaimsHero to trick people into opting out" to make a "quick buck."

@badelizabethpod is out now! Gideon and Kathy look at Bethe Wettlaufer, considered Canada's most prolific female serial killer, joined by Charles Graeber, journalist and author. Graeber's insight on the psychology, the hospital culture, and the overlooked red flags is incredible.

#anthropic #ai settlement update of the day:
Authors: there are some dirtbags trying to scam you into going through them to claim your settlement $.

To see if your book is on the list and make your claim, go to the website.

There is no middleman.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

More answers to questions I'm getting about the #authors #anthropic #AI settlement:

NO- opting into the settlement does NOT sign off on allowing ANY use of your book.

It's a penalty (for illegally downloading pirated work)- not permission.

RIP Jules Feiffer. An early inspiration, especially his illustration for The Phantom Tollbooth.

It sure looks like Meta stole a lot of books to build its AI. It’s a grim week for Meta. The company formerly known as Facebook, and before that Facemash, “designed to evaluate the attractiveness of female Harvard students,” now encompasses Facebo…

“Meta has claimed that they used publicly available material that was legally accessible under fair use doctrine,” but recently unsealed court documents disagree.
