Apple has filed a motion for a court-ordered settlement conference with Epic Games, aiming to resolve their ongoing legal dispute over App Store policies. This follows Apple's proposal to impose up to 15% commissions on external purchases, which Epic contests as exceeding permissible limits.

"In 2025, Anthropic reached a #settlement with publishers [as] #AI systems were trained on #copyrighted books without authorization. The agreement reportedly valued #infringement at [≈] $3,000 per #book across [≈] 500,000 works, coming at a cost of over $1.5 billion."

Ergo, Anthropic admits that #LLM training with copyrighted work is not #fairUse. If this is true for works of literature, it's probably also true for #copylefted #freeSoftware. #IANAL.

Allegedly, the Apple Store did not allow the employee to observe the Sabboth.

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:

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.
