Not all the works included in this list of books are copyrighted. There are also those with @creativecommons.bsky.social licences - authors won't see any money of this but kindly shared their knowledge with all of us.
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
Anthropic will pay publishers not authors. Some of my work is in the libgen dataset, but I won't get anything from this judgement, because the copyright is held by the copyright mafia: Springer, Elsevier etc. I'm happy for it to be in the dataset and happy for it to be used to train AI models.
Anthropic will pay at least $3,000 for each copyrighted work that it pirated. The company downloaded unauthorized copies of books in early efforts to gather training data for its AI tools. www.wired.com/story/anthro...
