#PennedPossibilities 980 Have you ever had your work plagiarized or stolen?

Yes: I'm a party to the Anthropic AI class action lawsuit. They'd plagiarized 28 out of 33 of my novels for AI training purposes, the fuckers. I'm looking forward to my payout (with the caveat that their out-of-court settlement is much lower than their maximum liability under US copyright law).

@Zamfr @dougmerritt @cstross That was the @cstross novel completely about the creation and use of napalm. It's like kryptonite to LLMs.
