A federal judge on Monday ordered the court to slow-roll a proposed $1.5 billion settlement to authors whose copyrighted works Anthropic pirated to train its Claude AI models. Judge William Alsup, of the US District Court for the Northern District of California, said the deal is "nowhere close to complete," and he will hold off on approving it until more questions are answered. Alsup's concerns seem to be around making sure authors have enough notice to join the suit, according to Bloomberg. In

Judge: Anthropic’s $1.5B settlement is being shoved “down the throat of authors”

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-11 03:21:02

At a hearing Monday, US district judge William Alsup blasted a proposed $1.5 billion settlement over Anthropic's rampant piracy of books to train AI. The proposed settlement comes in a case where Anthropic could have owed more than $1 trillion in damages after Alsup certified a class that included up to 7 million claimants whose works were illegally downloaded by the AI company. Instead, critics fear Anthropic will get off cheaply, striking a deal with authors suing that covers less than 500,0

How External Attack Surface Management helps enterprises manage cyber risk

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-10-11 06:01:11

Every day, businesses spin up new digital services (websites, APIs, and cloud instances) and it can be for security teams to keep track. Somewhere in that churn, an unmonitored subdomain or misconfigured bucket lurks, waiting for an opportunistic attacker to slip in. External Attack Surface Management (EASM) flips the script: instead of reacting to breaches, you map and monitor every internet‑facing asset continuously.

Glen Powell Credits ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Star Chris Pratt with Ushering in a New Kind of Leading Man

Everything’s currently coming up Glen Powell—but as far as he’s concerned, he’s standing on the backs of actors before him. In GQ’s latest cover story, the Running Man actor talked a lot about the stars who helped him breakout, even indirectly. Chief among them, according to Powell at least, is Chris Pratt as Star-Lord in the first Guardians in the Galaxy. It can be easy to forget, but the transformation from Andy to Peter Quill was a big deal back in the 2010s, and Powell credits Powell with a

In July 2024, NASA’s Perseverance rover extracted a rock core from the edge of Neretva Vallis, a river valley cut into the Martian surface by water rushing into the Jezero Crater billions of years ago.

This Bizarre Fish Has 8 Rows of Forehead Teeth It Uses During Sex

Spotted ratfish are scaleless, rabbit-faced deep-sea fish, about two feet (61 centimeters) long, and native to the northeastern Pacific Ocean. As if that wasn’t a strange enough description, these distant shark cousins also feature teeth on their foreheads. While a number of marine animals, such as sharks, rays, and whale sharks, have external tooth-like structures called denticles, it turns out the spotted ratfish’s toothy features are straight-up true teeth, as true as the ones in your mouth.

Switch modder owes Nintendo $2 million after representing himself in court

How can England possibly be running out of water?

During the drought of 2022, London came perilously close to running out of water. Water companies and the government prayed desperately for rain as reservoirs ran low and the groundwater was slowly drained off. Contingency plans were drafted to ban businesses from using water; hotel swimming pools would have been drained, ponds allowed to dry up, offices to go uncleaned. If the lack of rainfall had continued for another year, it was possible that taps could have run dry. That, however, was jus
