OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits
The issue has been a major battleground in discovery. OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material.

I volunteer at a library bookshop. People you meet at such places invariably love books and will often end up acquiring more books for themselves even when attempting to divest themselves of others.

LIBRARIES EXIST. if you want to read my book for free that is absolutely fine by me, and you can go to a library and take it home and make a note of anything that’s interesting, and then return it and someone else can do the same. And doing that will help your local library AND I’ll earn a tiny fee.
I see the book piracy discourse is back and as a writer I only have one opinion which is that yea I would actually quite like to earn a comfortable life doing an easy, likeable creative job, I don't think the world owes that to me, but it would be nice, and it's not an insane thing to want
