I’m curious, Dave,
I have been receiving a lot of emails to join in various class actions against Anthropic as well, for a book I have through MIT press.
Since the emails are coming from several putative plainants, I was unsure how many of these are actually opportunistic scams. Do you know of a watchdog on this topic? I have been too clutter-minded to go after checking it.
Thanks,
Eric

or - out of the blue - pay you for it. I am supposed to get a $3,000 check from Anthropic next month because they used my book, among 1000,000 others probably, to train Claude.

If I didn't post it, I deleted it...
My compulsions are equal parts composing such and deciding it is totally
irrelevant to the conversation and deleting it.
Yes, George is equal parts mind-reader and sycophant. Very
seductive/crazy-making combination?
