It's very frustrating that this is in any way relevant. Whether they're registered with the US Copyright Office or not, the copyright in these works is clearly assigned to their authors.

Jason Sanford @jasonsanford.bsky.social · 8d

The official database of works eligible for the Anthropic AI settlement has been released and, as I suspected, many authors are screwed. Basically, if your books weren't officially registered with the US Copyright Office you're out of luck. 1/ secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/results

Welcome to the Anthropic Copyright Settlement Website
Are you the legal or beneficial copyright owner of a book included in the Anthropic Copyright Settlement?
You could get a payment from the $1.5 billion Settlement.

Borderlands 4 is out! I had a tiny part in this one, but to have my favorite franchise be my first ever game credit means the world.

The talented folks at Gearbox cooked up something special for you folks. Enjoy!

Give this a watch if you want to see what I’ve been working on the last 6 months! It was been a real pleasure to compose for this soundtrack. Had a real fun time breaking down how we approached a lot of stuff in this OST.

With ICE increasing its presence in and around Boston, I thought I'd repost this helpful guide for reporting ICE sightings in an effective way. Remember: S.A.L.U.T.E.

You can report sightings to LUCE Mass at 617-370-5023 (the holine operates from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. in multiple languages)

REMEMBER!
S.A.L.U.T.E

Size/Strength
"5 to 6 law enforcement officers"

Actions/Activity
"harassing random people on the street"

Location/Direction
"Chicago, West of Millennium Park, on Michigan Ave"

Uniform/clothes
"Dark Blue uniforms that say 'Police ICE' on the back”

Time and date of observation
"12:45 PM January 20"

Equipment and weapons
"They have helmets, vests and batons"
