When weâre wrong, weâll own it.
When we use AI, weâll disclose it.

Hereâs what you need to know about AI today:
Universal Music is suing Anthropic for copyright infringement.

Universal Music Sues Anthropic For Infringing On Artistsâ Songs.

"Hey Claude, whip up a tune about AI that channels the vibes of Taylor Swift's classic, âYou Need to Calm Down.ââ
Claude: âk, doneâ.
Universal Music: âhold up, thatâs illegalâ.
Universal Music sues Anthropic.
Sound like dĂ©jĂ vu? Thatâs because we've heard variations of this "creatives suing tech companies for stealing their content" narrative a bazillion times.
Authors sued OpenAI for eating up their books. Artists sued Midjourney for pirating their work. Website owners sued Google for scraping their content. And we sued Sweetgreen for only filling our salad bowls 50%.
Honestly, these feuds are getting old, and thereâs one obvious answer hidden in plain sight:
*Pay the creatives when you use their content to train your AI models.*
Music might just be the pioneer here:
Our two cents: AI models eating up all the worldâs creative content to create new content is inevitable, but itâs important they do it the right way.
So, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh. đ¶
You need to calm down. đ¶
You're being too loud. đ¶
