Anthropic lost a class action suit for scraping books. Writers can register with Anthropic to be compensated for their pillaging of our copyrights.

The compensation system was AI-coded.

Anthropic can't keep track of our submissions. They don't know who wrote what.

Their customer support is AI-driven. Send a mail! Log in to a nonexistent page! Resubmit and it'll be fine!

This will be fine.   

@mwl But what if you never wanted your work in the model in the first place? They have no way of removing your works?

Even twenty years ago, judges would have shut this shit down, and laughed as the AI peddlers ran out of the courtroom with their tails tucked between their legs. It is just such absolutely blatant theft.

But then big money got behind it, and now its all, "Nooooo, we can't let AI fail! The Chinese might beat us to the singularity!" We neeeeed AI for nazional securitay!

@nuintari @mwl And about that "AI for nazional securitay!"...how is that working out? https://houseofsaud.com/iran-war-ai-psychosis-sycophancy-rlhf/
Was the Iran War Caused by AI Psychosis? | House of Saud

AI sycophancy, RLHF bias, and Ender's Foundry simulations shaped Operation Epic Fury. 7 planning assumptions failed in 23 days as the Iran war defied every AI prediction.
