Hey, if you, like me, are a US citizen who's had your books/stories/articles stolen by Meta to train AI, you can submit your name to the class action suit using this easy contact form for one of the law firms involved:

@stephanieburgis what does “stolen” mean here? Did they circumvent a paywall or what?

@jonathankoren they used online archives like libgen which contain many copyrighted written works. @stephanieburgis

@jonathankoren definitely not fair use. Fair use has a scope and training an AI LLM in iorder to generate profit in outside this scope. @stephanieburgis

@switch @stephanieburgis 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That literally has nothing to do with fair use.
