the final amount could be higher, in that approximately 500,000 works will likely be paid out, but if the total is higher than that, Anthropic will pay an additional $3,000 per work, and it all depends on the number of claims submitted
Let me guess, only the big name authors and none of the countless people posting their writing projects to the internet (which probably accounted for a way higher precentage of the training data than published novels given how much more of it there is) or the people having back and fourth discussions on Reddit (which was likely vital to ensuring the AI responded to technical conversations in a normal sounding way).
The thing I hate most about the copyright system is how blatantly it helps the biggest creators concentrate wealth while actively excluding smaller and amateur creators. The copyright system is the barrier to entry. You can only exercise the rights theoretically given to every single creator if you make enough money from your art, but to make enough money from your art you need to be able to exercise the rights to it.

Exactly, copyrights are designed for the benefit of capitalists first and foremost. They’re not there to protect small artists.
