The way the book is used is also different. If I buy and read a book, I can recall the themes and certain events, but an LLM essentially retains the entire text forever.

I’m on the list!! 📕

Mak’em pay!!

They used four of my books as training data. That's $12,000 in the settlement. I'm getting $3660. My publishers are getting $8340. Roughly 70%

I’m deep in this one with 16 different versions of my text books having been copied illegally by Anthropic. While I understand the logic of the flat $3,000 award per book, it treats a dud the same as a best selling text, which seems unfair somehow.

In other words, the publishing companies see it as increased profit they have no intention of passing on to the people who actually wrote the books.

Pennies…
