AI crimes require AI solutions?
Anthropic agrees to settle copyright infringement class action suit - what it means
AI startup Anthropic has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit against three authors for the tech company's misuse of their work to train its Claude chatbot.
The writers claimed that Anthropic used the authors' pirated works to train Claude, its family of large language models (LLMs), on prompt generation. The AI startup negotiated a "proposed class settlement," Anthropic announced Tuesday, to forgo a trial determining how much it would owe for the infringement.
The preliminary settlement's details are scarce. In June, a judge ruled that Anthropic's legal purchase of books to train its chatbot was fair use -- that is, free to use without payment or permission from the copyright holder. However, some of Anthropic's tactics, like using a website called LibGen, constituted piracy, the judge ruled. Anthropic could have been forced to pay over $1 trillion in damages over piracy claims, Wired reports.

Trump Explodes in Rage as Dem Governor’s Harsh Takedown Draws Blood
This week, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker delivered an extraordinary takedown of President Trump over his deployment of the military in U.S. cities. Trump then exploded about Pritzker’s impudence, calling the governor names and instructing him to bow down and beg for his “HELP” in fighting crime. Trump has threatened twice to occupy Chicago no matter what the city’s residents and their elected representatives think about it—another window into his seething anger. In this standoff, Pritzker did something unusual: He communicated with his constituents from the heart, vowing to use all his power to protect them from Trump’s authoritarian takeover. Rather than let Trump pretend he cares about crime, Pritzker cast Trump as the primary threat to his state’s people. We talked to Brian Beutler, who has a great new piece on his Substack, Off Message, taking stock of Pritzker’s response. We discuss how Pritzker is shrewdly reading the moment in a way many Democrats are not, why Trump is vulnerable on crime, and what the punditry is getting so wrong about all of it. Listen to this episode here. A transcript is here.
