  • According to the article, it could be higher than 1.5 billion, though by how much they don't really say. But they're estimating about $3000 per book. For a class action that actually seems extremely high.

  • Anthropic to pay 1.5 billion to authors

    That's... quite a bit. I wonder if we'll start to see more complaints about people reaching their token limit "prematurely" or if Anthropic will release a $1000/month "unlimited" plan or something like that.

  • Thing is, that by December 2023, the time of the archive, there was already a scandal with someone using ChatGPT to do the work of discovery. While he might have stopped doing PR work for DoNotPay by that time, he was willing to advertise the fact that he did do such PR work for such a company. It shows either a lack of due diligence in researching his clients, or maybe it was just a paycheque for him. Perhaps he thought he knew more than what he actually did. Or maybe there was something else, I'm not clairvoyant.It's clear that he's pivoted from that viewpoint, but it does make me curious what happened between then and now that caused him to become skeptical.

  • According to the archived website, he did do PR for DoNotPay, which is advertised as "The first robot lawyer."It's certainly possible though that at the time he thought there was more potential for this sort of AI than there actually was, though that could also mean that his flip is relatively recent.

    Or maybe it's something else.
