 I've just learned that Meta has, without my permission and in violation of my copyright, used at least one of my books to help train their generative AI, and I'm not down with that.

 @d6e4c7e0 From what I've been hearing this is a huge problem and they did this with hundreds of thousands of books right?

As I understand the legality is still not certain though... it sounds like this is an open question the courts are still resolving.

Either way, hope you get justice!

 @d6e4c7e0 all the recent Star Wars books are in there. I hope Disney’s lawyers get involved for good for once!
