#Chegg has sued #Google for its #AI model stealing text from Chegg. In the lawsuit, Chegg relied primarily on anti-trust #law rather than simply #copyright law. Since Google already lost an anti-trust case last year, their case would seem to be stronger than other lawsuits against generative AI.

How ChatGPT Brought Down an Online Education Giant

The online education company was for many years the go-to source for students who wanted help with their homework, or a potential tool for plagiarism.

More: "Since ChatGPT’s launch, Chegg has lost more than half a million subscribers who pay up to $19.95 a month for prewritten answers to textbook questions and on-demand help from experts. Its stock is down 99% from early 2021, erasing some $14.5 billion of market value. Bond traders have doubts the company will continue bringing in enough cash to pay its debts."

I can't shake the feeling that #HR is trying to fuck with my pay, I haven't been able to submit a timecard in *weeks* although they've assured my supervisor that not submitting won't affect payroll.... I'll believe it when I see it then happily eat my words 😂 until I can submit, I anxiously await each auto deposit to see - is this the week I stop getting paid?

I've almost debated signing up for #Chegg or #Fiverr just to have spot income to prevent the #anxiety

I found that one of my old assignments has been uploaded to #Chegg a website that seems to me to be about paying people to do your assignments. Apart from their weird and coopting "Honor shield" faculty partnership program, I am wondering if there is any way to I dunno, claim my copyright from them?
