Screw the money — Anthropic’s $1.5B copyright settlement sucks for writers

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2025-10-14 19:59:21

Around half a million writers will be eligible for a payday of at least $3,000, thanks to a historic $1.5 billion settlement in a class action lawsuit that a group of authors brought against Anthropic. This landmark settlement marks the largest payout in the history of U.S. copyright law, but this isn’t a victory for authors — it’s yet another win for tech companies. Tech giants are racing to amass as much written material as possible to train their LLMs, which power groundbreaking AI chat pro

Microsoft now enforces MFA on Azure Portal sign-ins for all tenants

Poisoning Well 31st March 2025 One of the many pressing issues with Large Language Models (LLMs) is they are trained on content that isn’t theirs to consume. Since most of what they consume is on the open web, it’s difficult for authors to withhold consent without also depriving legitimate agents (AKA humans or “meat bags”) of information. Some well-meaning but naive developers have implored authors to instate robots.txt rules, intended to block LLM-associated crawlers. User-agent: GPTBot D

One of the most iconic symbols of Venice is the winged lion sculpture that perches atop a column in the Piazza San Marco, or St. Mark’s Square. It’s even depicted on the flag of the Republic of Venice. But while it is known as the Lion of Venice, the statue’s origin story appears to be far murkier than once believed. In a new paper published Thursday in the journal Antiquity, researchers lay out evidence that the bronze statue was made using copper ore from the Lower Yangzi River basin in China
