Once we are all completely locked in to the concept of "enshittification", Cory Doctorow is going to jack up the price and cash out.

If your book(s) were, or are pirated on LibGen and subsequently used by Anthropic to train its AI models, the courts have ordered them to pay a minimum of $1.5B. Authors might/could/perhaps get an estimated payment of $3,000 per work (based on current estimates of the # of pirated works trained on).
But you definitely won't get your $$$ unless you register your claim: https://secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/register

@tom_geraghty god i had to do so many of these and it was a trap EVERY time.
In the worst corporate cultures, revealing anything about your life outside of work creates a potential attack vector. Any vulnerability you show will eventually be exploited against you.
and that is the exact reason why some companies force their employees to do this.
Disclosure costs more to some than others.
Marginalised colleagues often pay the highest price for โteam-bondingโ vulnerability rituals.
โOur collective task ahead is to keep psychological safety porous and evolving, to resist its commodification, and to build organisations where everyone can be heard.โ

Talk time โ safety.
Eye contact โ trust.
Stammering โ fear.
If we want psychological safety, we need to fix systems, not people.
The next five years should be less about awareness and more about depth.
