If you are a SAS author, how much is SAS taking from your book's the Anthropic settlement?
I'll go first. SAS wants 100%.
I guess the big guy must be hurting more than we realized.

@kq You are almost there. You effectively communicated what a class action lawsuit is. That is unfortunately the part we all already understand.
What needs effectively communicated is whatever you are trying to say about authors and SAS.
@kj Perhaps this communicates the legal issue more clearly:
The Anthropic case was a class-action suit.
That means it applies to a class of people, companies, and other parties.
Any party in the affected class can collect a share of the settlement.
They do not have to sue.
@kd A basic google search can also give pointers on how to communicate effectively.
@fr A basic google search would tell you that, in a class-action lawsuit, all members of the class can share the settlement -- not just the plaintiffs.
@jt If you say so……. Doesn’t make it so.
@fr A SAS employee wrote me and said SAS Recovery 100% and Author Recovery 0%. There is nothing confusing about that.
OP, you sound delulu and confused. SAS the company, did not sue Anthropic. Now, if there are individual authors who file a claim, they can get money out of the settlement.
A basic google search would tell you this.
@ap If AI is built on stolen goods then so is the entire internet.
Anthropic was sued by authors for copyright violation because it used their books to train Claude AI.
Anthropic has offered a settlement, but it's a pittance: $3000 per book. Many authors are refusing it, in order to go back to court.
The AI industry is built on stolen goods.
You are going to have to be more clear. No idea what you are talking about.
