@slotos "paying people for their IP." That's the problem they're solving.
@mwl I suspect you might be the first person to progress that thought to “for their IP” part.

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!

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

@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.
