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

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-11 13:21:02

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

The fall is usually when Apple also struts out a new Apple Watch, and based on previous upgrade timelines, it’s likely we’re due for an Ultra 3 and a revamped SE. The AirPods Pro are also due for a refresh. And, as always, it’s possible that there’s something

Amazon is planning to use artificial intelligence to recreate destroyed footage from Orson Welles' 1942 film "The Magnificent Ambersons" — but the late directors' estate is calling bull.
