Anthropic has just reached a historic $1.5 billion settlement with writers for copyright.

Now, this is basically a lot of people are excited about this,

and there's also a lot of people that are not excited about this.

Personally, I'll fall in the camp that is happy with the direction of the settlement

and basically the verdict of it.

I'll break down both sides, but there's definitely people that

are unhappy if you go over to TechCrunch, I have a whole article that says,

screw the money, Anthropics $1.5 billion copyright settlement sucks for writers. So I'll put it

out there. Not everyone's happy about this, but for AI companies, this is, you know, positive

for the industry. So let's dive into all of that. Before we do, I wanted to say if you want to try any of these models I talk about on the show, including all of the cloud models from Anthropic, I'd love for you to go check out my own startup, which is AIbox.a.I. We have the top 40 different AI models all in one place. So you pay 20 bucks a month and you get access to 40 different AI models. So you don't have to have subscriptions to everything. But in addition, we just launched our AI app builder, which is basically a little box like chat chputt and you type in a tool that you want to create and it will chain together multiple AI models. You will put prompts in and it will basically build you a tool. You can go and customize it. We're really excited about this, and this is what we've really been working on for the last two and a half years. So if you want to go try out the no-code AI app builder on AI Box, there's a link in the description, and I would love to hear your thoughts as we're actively fixing things, adding things. And it's an exciting time for us over here.

All right.

Let's get into the episode.

So basically, if you go over to TechCrunch, like I mentioned, they're not super excited

about this.

But how this is rolling out is that about 500,000 writers are going to be eligible for

about $3,000 in this $1.5 billion settlement.

A group of writers brought this lawsuit against Anthropic.

It's kind of interesting because it's not just the Anthropic trained off of their data.

And that's kind of what a lot of people are complaining about with this lawsuit is how that

was, how that is kind of the

shakeout on that. But basically, this is the largest payout in the history of U.S. copyright law.
