Glad to see they have to pay up but what was different about this compared to the similar case that Meta won the other day?
Meta has more money and is apparently immune from consequences?
No if you pay the president enough he will let you commit crimes against humanity.
So… how long does it take before a company stops being called a startup?
Probably once they can stand on their own merits and make a profit. So never in the case of AI companies.
When they’re weaned from the teat of round after round of investment
Lmao, right. 1.5 Billy just laying around? Probably not much of a startup anymore…
Next time don’t download the pirate library.
Now that is how you build a Mote
Is any of that money actually going to the authors, or is this just like a fine they hand over and they donate some money to a charity or something?
Don’t be silly.
Where are they getting $1.5 billion from? Is this business actually profitable?
Monopoly money using image generation ML tech for the design. Special partnership with HP for printing these notes.
Wouldn’t doubt it for a second. They create a product they can easily gaslight all the corporate chumps into buying, and by the time they realize there’s 0 roi on it, it’s already too late
They just did a fundraising round and raised like $13b

If I could pirate a bunch of content then pay back only 10% of the value while pocketing the rest I’d be thrilled
This is just the cost of doing business for Anthropic.
No particular material harm to the business. Declare the matter settled, everything is fine and dandy, and now they have carte blanche to rape and pillage the next
villagedataset.
Yikes.
$500 million in run-rate revenue
Absolutely astounding that they can raise $13B on a sixth round of funding on that.
For the less finance jargon savvy, “run-rate revenue” just means projected annual revenue.
All this means they spent 3 years of revenue to make this go away.
Absolutely not a profitable business lol.
Anthropic’s news page is educational in every sense of the word.
Everyone cheering for this will see no benefit from it.
Rubes.
