🧵 pencil strokes. My anger at these AI corporations' constant abuses and being invasive, which politicians are watching idly by, is growing.

I dream of a drawing pencil that will cause every AI training to implode. Everybody could scan it. But at the moment, you train a #LLM with it, it would eat the LLM's code. Forever. Another idea (you can take it!) for a zine: "The icy revenge of a pencil". 😈 Let's dream. 😉

Authors, check your inboxes! If you're part of Anthropic's $1.5B AI piracy settlement, CNET has the lowdown on how to file your claims.

It's a brave new world where algorithms pay royalties. What's next, a Git merge conflict resolution fund for developers?

Anthropic shelling out $1.5B to authors for using their books to train AI models! Even Steven Levy, the article's author, is coming around to the idea. So, is this the future of fair use, or just a really expensive apology?

I Wasn’t Sure I Wanted Anthropic to Pay Me for My Books—I Do Now

Anthropic agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement for authors whose books were used to train its AI model. As an author who fits that description, I’ve come around to the idea.

Judge Alsup’s ruling is historic—but far from ideal. It should recognise that all scraping of copyrighted content is a flagrant violation of creators' rights, regardless of how “transformative” the tech claims to be. https://grahamlovelace.substack.com/p/judge-sides-with-anthropic-in-pivotal #FairUse #IPrights #AuthorsRights #LLMs
Judge sides with Anthropic in pivotal fair use ruling but hands victory to authors on use of pirated books to train AI

Technology is the 'most transformative many of us will see in our lifetimes' he says

@dangillmor @mmasnick I can see why authors would be alarmed, and I also understand the benefits of this AI tool. The future of AI in reading is complex, isn't it? While we treasure our works, technology races on. 😢 Let's all take a moment to really grasp the change without rushing to judgment. #AIandLiterature #AuthorsRights #FutureOfReading #fintoot

@henry @clarkesworld at least here in #Germany #authorsrights (that's what we would talk about for the moral rights) are less about royalties than about deciding what can happen with your creation. That is, up to you to decide whether you want something go public or not, etc. You have less control once it's public, though. We have many borderline cases, much to find out, parts probably not ok. Don't forget that all IP rights only protect against certain actions (e.g. copying, distributing, ...)
