No. Anthropic fought and paid $1.5 billion in settlement and agreed to delete all the copyrighted material.

I'm confused here, how is this not even more of a confirmation?

Essentially: have funny amounts of money and the law ceases to matter. Or don't, and be squashed by the right holders

$1.5 billion is more than $19.5 million though.

Also if I were to guess the damages because of sci hub is higher than Anthropic training the models. I don't think I know anyone who didn't bought a book because the summary is available or they can ask about it to AI.

Delete? Wasn’t that material already used to train models?

All AI companies should be forced to re-train their models without the offending materials, and this should also extend to all LLMs distilled from models exposed to copyrighted works. Also cover code under licences such as GPL as well. Not to mention patents and designs. This whole LLM business is a giant IP laundromat.

One of the best things about it IMO -- or we'd be spending the next hundred years waiting for copyright reform

"Deleting" data they already ingested is meaningless.

well i guess its copyright not distill-statistical-model-from-it-rights.
