       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. :flan_executioner: :guillotine: :flan_stick:

       @slotos "paying people for their IP." That's the problem they're solving.

       @mwl Modern life built on quicksand.Why so many rush to predicate way too much on unproven tech. Worse - tech proven to be flawed.

       @slotos Writers are notoriously ignorant of copyright.So are programmers. Especially terminally online open source folks.

       @mwl @nuintari Can you maybe aim that a little to the east?  There’s a white house that could use a new paintjob…

       @xgebi it's big discussion over on bsky, and I've experienced it myself.They're proposing corrections on my original filing to add books included in the original filing, providing multiple incompatible answers to questions on how to correct filings, and the human help desk says it's buggy software and they can't help you.

       @rupert @slotos that's true. But folks have very weird ideas about copyright that aren't in the law. Read Nolo Press' Copyright Handbook if you're curious.

       @mwl I have lost count of the conflicting emails I have received from them.  It's ... tiring.  Just send me the money, I'll dole it out.

       @mwl I'm still bitter my book was in the training set but not eligible for compensation because it was published by a UK company and not registered with the US Copyright Office.

       @mwl I don't communicate with companies over the phone or email if it's not on a firstname.lastname@company.tld basis. It's only registered mail by postal services to their fucking CEO.

       @mwl So eventually the settlement will go to some kind of enforcement procedure?

       @mwl Misanthropic is a very, very dangerous company from everything I've heard .. and I agree. Contain and restrain.

       @mwl Here's hoping they actually pay up for that settlement before they implode.As far as I can tell, April 23 is a key date - https://www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/faq#q-47
