Anthropic is arguing, among other things, that bankrupting the smallest major AI player while all the bigger ones do the same thing should be a reason to reduce the consequences.
Well, I agree with that argument in the sense that their punishment should be relative to their size. But I was just talking about plantiff strategy. A judgement against Anthropic of any magnitude might open the floodgates for class action lawsuits by creators against major tech companies. I also think that's a good thing, because AI models are clearly laundering work done by original authors.
