I'm an author, and I've confirmed that 3 of my books are in the 500K dataset.

Thus, I stand to receive about $9,000 as a result of this settlement.

I think that's fair, considering that two of those books received advances under $20K and never earned out. Also, while I'm sure that Anthropic has benefited from training its models on this dataset, that doesn't necessarily mean that those models are a lasting asset.

What's more fair is for Anthropic to put 5% of their preferred shares at their most recent valuation into a pool that the authors of these books can make a claim against. For 18 months, any author in this cache of books can claim their ownership and rights to their proportional amount of the shares within all claimants.

Perhaps tokenize all of the books and assign proportionally for token count of each publication.

What a ridiculous assertion. They're already getting 100-1000x the value of their books. Truly bloodlust knows no bounds.

Lol it's willful infringement which at law entitles them up to $150,000. Calling it "bloodlust" is just so ridiculous as to render you without any actual credibility in this conversation.
