Good info for short fiction authors looking to find whether their works are part of the Bartz v Anthropic class action
Many authors have searched The Atlantic's LibGen database of pirated titles to see if they are listed there. However, I've uncovered that authors of short fiction aren't always discoverable there.
Here's how I discovered more of my short fiction in the list. 1/

1. Here's the motion for preliminary approval of the settlement in Bartz v Anthropic class action suit. Anthropic will pay $1.5 billion, an "estimated gross recovery of $3,000 per Class Work" & destroy the two datasets of pirated works once litigation ends storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Good thread.
Some of the authors I follow (like @scalzi.com and @diane.dianeduane.com) have been posting a lot about the upcoming Anthropic settlement. It has now been filed to the docket, and I have looked it over (I do this sort of thing for a living). I’m sure a lot of writers have a lot of questions about it

Hey medical folks--working on an article about how it feels to practice medicine when maybe you can't quite trust the "new versions" of the CDC, FDA, and vaccine advisory board.

A whistleblower revealed that DOGE put the personal data of millions of Americans onto a vulnerable cloud server.
If this data is leaked or hacked, the government could be forced to reissue every American a new Social Security number.
This should be a national scandal.

The leader of HHS is politicizing medicine, spewing vaccine conspiracies, rejecting science, and leading us straight toward a preventable public health emergency.
