Left making things of useful beauty

You may have been following the anthropic class action lawsuit in which the company has agreed to pay each publisher and author of certain pirated books, an amount split between them. I should receive a small check, though not enough to justify continuously feeding into the theft of intellectual properties that appears ongoing. The judge's ruling is such that AI will continue mining us for salable content. It happens with everything we place online, in whatever form. Are you on facebook? You've agreed to have your content stolen from you and it will be.

In contrast, we can continue to make beautiful, useful and real things. I've placed business card holders on my made in eureka springs site: https://madeineurekasprings.com/products/linden-business-card-holder

We'll truly worry about AI when it steals our jobs and we are left making things for ourselves and being enriched in many ways by the process.
