Others here may have already done this, but I just checked the Works List in the Anthopic settlement and found that a book I wrote is on it. Went ahead and filed a claim. My understanding is the claims are $3,000 apiece, minus some fees, split 50-50 with the publisher. And honestly getting even $1,000 on that book would increase my net by about 30 percent.
The link to the Works List is here: https://secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/
Info about submitting a claim is linked there as well.

Nvidia’s announcement earlier this week that it is investing $100 billion into OpenAI to help fund its massive data center build out has added to a growing sense of unease among investors that there is a dangerous financial bubble around AI, and that the revenues and earnings math underpinning the valuations of both public and private companies in the sector just doesn’t add up.

I also anticipate my revenue being half a trillion next year

ONLY half a trillion?? not in excess of? “Boring, Maryland shares tumbled today…”

Nov 19 (Reuters) - Universal Music Group, Sony Music, and Warner Music Group have licensed their catalogs to Klay, an AI-powered music streaming startup that will let users remake songs using artificial intelligence, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the deals.Klay is the first AI music service to secure deals with all three major labels and has licensed thousands of tracks to train its model, pledging to give artists as well as labels control over how their works are used, the report said.

fucking shit man

'let users remake songs' is not compatible with 'pledging to give artists as well as labels control'

Only Weird Al should be allowed to 'remake songs'

Wondering how this jibes with European copyright law wherein authors can assert “moral rights”. If I understand correctly, it’s not like in America where you can cover someone else’s song without their permission, as long as proper credit is given. A jazz musician I follow said that he tried to a “Bartok goes jazz”type project and the owners of the composition copyrights nixed the idea.

pretty sure anybody can play anybody’s music without permission as long as they pay the royalties

wait tho does this mean I can finally take Wesley Wellis and Like A Tim and create the greatest combo that nobody has ever wanted?

if you play all the music yourself yes!

lol

oops, just saw there's a thread about this already:
KLAY is a new AI streaming network for major labels

this song sounds so bad to me. Yet it was another "fooled you" ai thing anyway

I find AI voices easy to spot, less so the instruments
― Edward Albee Sure (Neanderthal), Friday, 21 November 2025 17:25 (two weeks ago)
so much pop music is homogenized and overproduced these days it seems inevitable that ai would be able to make music that hits the same tedious notes. doesn't mean ai is getting better, only that it can blend in against the wallpaper

Just now a video on the latest NT production of Importance Of Being Earnest showed up in my youtube recommended and I was like, huh, never see anyone cover theatre, kinda curious to see what the discourse is like.
It took me about thirty seconds to realise it was a fake AI podcast.
I should have perhaps noticed instantly when I saw "spoiler filled" in the description, but I think if no one had uploaded that AI podcast discussing an ILX thread it would've taken me a few seconds more. Had the same two horrible voices and everything.
So....thanks, ILX?

Ugh, I had to create a bunch of Business Requirements Documents for work in a shorter timeframe than I was really capable of doing on my own without a week-long all-nighter and a lot of nauseated stress. I fed the user manuals into copilot and within a day I was able to get them out the door. The result was less detailed than I’d have produced on my own (although I suppose I could probably have tweaked the output by tweaking the prompts, too) but — after some editing and formatting — they’re good enough. AI saved my bacon, tbh. I hate it, but also, it’s not like it was fulfilling work or something that could have benefitted anyone by being done the hard way.

in a way the worst thing about it is that it works (to some extent for tasks) so you can't dismiss it out of hand like nfts.
― ledge, Wednesday, 3 December 2025 14:45 (two days ago)
It makes a lot of sense that an AI program can produce something like a BRD, which is already a quasi-machinic genre of writing.
hardcore dilettante's story also chimes with what a freelance graphic designer told me about using AI: none of her clients are saying "use AI" and her rates aren't dropping, but she is being offered shorter contracts, the brevity of which compel her to use AI in order to meet the tighter deadline.

I believe one very large company in this space trained its "generative AI rap" models entirely on the worst Aesop Rock tracks.

or wait who was the even nerdier early 2000s guy - MC Paul Barman?
― Lady Sovereign (Citizen) (milo z), Wednesday, 3 December 2025 17:50 (two days ago)
Barman had at least Prince Paul produce a record (his only good record)
― Modollno Kahn (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 3 December 2025 17:53 (two days ago)
I met Paul Barman once before his brief window of fame. He was incredibly serious about his career and his rapping. One of those people who is absolutely unswerving in their drive to pursue a very specific thing. I kept wondering if it was an act but it clearly wasn’t.
