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 2025-10-09 16:21:02

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

Snap breaks into ‘startup squads’ as ad revenue stalls

In Brief Snap is breaking itself apart and rebuilding from within.

Also known as Viking chess, hnefatafl is a board game in which a centrally located king is attacked from all sides. The game wasn’t exclusive to the Vendels—people across northern Europe faced off over the gridded board from at least 400 BCE until the 18th century. But
