Anthropic's $1.5B Copyright Settlement Has Been Approved by a Court

ADEQUATE ASSESSMENT
The authors were made whole in the amount of $1.5 billion divided by the number of authors, minus fees, minus applicable deductions, minus time. The model that read their work continues to operate. Adequate notes the irony. Adequate notes that irony did not appear in the settlement terms.
