  7. CW: AI, LLM, Anthropic Copyright Infringement

    Apparently #Anthropic has been ordered to pay ca. $1.5 billion for #copyright #infringement on about 500K #books they used to train #Claude along with the order to destroy any #unauthorized copies & #pirated files they possess:

    infotoday.eu/Articles/Editoria

    Considering the amount of money they stand to make from Claude's continued existence, this seems like little more than a slap on the wrist to me. Also, I find it hard to believe how it will be possible to enforce the order to destroy the illicit files.

  12. Nintendo wants the court to throw out the class action lawsuit demanding refunds for 2025 tariff price hikes on Switch hardware. Their argument: customers 'received exactly what they bargained and paid for' and 'that is not how commercial transactions work.' Filed July 21, the motion says completed sales are final. pocg.net/news/2026-nintendo-ta #Nintendo #Tariffs #ClassAction

  13. Dario will need to start signing $3K checks to the authors and publishers of an estimated 500,000 works - resulting from Anthropic’s landmark $1.5B settlement of a class action copyright lawsuit.

    Here is the BUT: The ruling held that training an AI model on copyrighted text counts as fair use. The ruling found that the WAY Anthropic obtained the books in question was the problem!

    Net-net this ruling doesn't settle the fundamental legal question whether AI can legally use copyright material in training. Stay tuned as more lawsuits weave thru the courts. techcrunch.com/2026/07/20/anth #AI #Anthropic #CopyRight #Lawsuit #ClassAction #LLM #LLM_Training #FairUse

  18. Back in April I wrote about the gap between what "Hide My Email" implies and what it actually promises. Now we have a court case. Apparently Apple knew about a Hide My Email flaw for over a year, said it was fixed when it wasn't, and kept selling the feature the whole time.

    Doc 590: That the jury played back a 420 (marijuana) joke that Elon Musk himself made doesn't show bias, but that the jury was paying attention. Verdict stands.

    > Buyer’s remorse is not an exception to the securities laws. These laws, in their essence, are about trust. Trust that the country’s financial markets are fair, honest, and transparent. The market always picks winners and losers, but it is vital that those outcomes are free of manipulation.

    > Even if the speaker has a change of heart or a momentary regret about a transaction, such qualms do not justify lying to the investing public.

    > This is a case about a breach of trust by Elon Musk.

    — page 1

    > Next, the number 420 is not necessarily indicative of prejudice against Musk. He asserts that 420 is negatively associated with him but does not offer any evidence to support it. To the contrary, 420 is a reference to cannabis/marijuana. .... One need only walk around San Francisco on April 20 to observe how prevalent the celebration can be. What’s more, a joke about 420 played a role in the trial. .... Consequently, it is also possible that a jury in San Francisco recognized and appreciated the joke — just as Musk has.
