Not very much. Maybe $10K over 10 years. Do not quit your day job!

But I'm hoping to make $2K from the Anthropic settlement, so I got that going for me.

What’d they do to you, since you brought it up?

Thanks.

It's from the recent class action settlement. Anthropic used a pirated book database for training and got sued. The settlement awards some amount of money to each book in the database. Mine happened to be included.

And because I love irony, Claude can tell us more: https://claude.ai/share/4ee7f444-e296-48ce-85eb-15d50dbd6c93
