Anthropic Settlement Update: The Opt-Outs Strike Back - Writer Beware (R)

Some interesting things happening with those lawsuits.

Panzer's last stop today was at the Writer Beware (R) site.

 

With a little digging in the posts there our intrepid traveler found one about the Anthropic settlement. Actually, it's about the writers who opted-out of the settlement. Victoria Strauss examines the individual opt-out lawsuits.

 

Panzer says, "It's kind of confusing what they're doing."
