Thinking about the Bartz v. Anthropic AI theft lawsuit? We sure are! And if that name sounds familar, it should: Bartz is Andrea Bartz, who read with BBB in our first-ever Barrows based reading in Jan. 2023 (with @karenheuler.bsky.social #JDScott & #CharlesBarouch)!

The more you know!

#Anthropic

Authors Charles Barouch, Andrea Bartz, Karen Heuler, JD Scott and Randee Dawn at Brooklyn Books & Booze in January 2023.
