If I had to guess, I'd say that the settlement was a lot closer to $41K than one would think, and that's why it's being kept quiet. Otherwise, the labels saw themselves either losing a famous copyright case in the age of LLM threats to copyright, or winning a famous copyright case in an awkward fashion that made people far less sympathetic to them.

People are on copyright holders' side in the battle with LLMs. Either winning or losing this case would be poison.

Haha - only people that don't have experience with AI.

When the NYT sued OpenAI - I emailed the Times that if it's between the Times or AI, we don't need the NYT anymore.

I want UBI from the AI companies - if they can provide its bc they actually did deliver something that might as well be a god - how they get there - I will forgive, soooo much, almost anything if you think about what AGI actually is.

If I were Sam, I'd never stop talking about it either - for most people, ChatGPT is already "alive" more than can understand that it isn't.

Haha, in a few years, ask a Gen Alpha if they'd give up AI - fpr copyright law, haha
