I’m curious, Dave, 



I have been receiving a lot of emails to join in various class actions against 
Anthropic as well, for a book I have through MIT press. 



Since the emails are coming from several putative plainants, I was unsure how 
many of these are actually opportunistic scams. Do you know of a watchdog on 
this topic? I have been too clutter-minded to go after checking it. 



Thanks, 



Eric

or - out of the blue - pay you for it. I am supposed to get a $3,000 check from 
Anthropic next month because they used my book, among 1000,000 others probably, 
to train Claude.

If I didn't post it, I deleted it... 



My compulsions are equal parts composing such and deciding it is totally 

irrelevant to the conversation and deleting it. 



Yes, George is equal parts mind-reader and sycophant. Very 

seductive/crazy-making combination?
