The class action I was in netted me $25.97. I never cashed the original check and found out about it later on an unclaimed funds website. I did eventually cash it and it was pizza night for the Porter household.
I've been automatically included in a couple of class actions for Optus and AMP, so I'll be looking forward to retiring once I get that big 2 or 3 figure payout.
so is it a payment for the damages from the copyright breach? Not tacit permission to keep what they stole and continue to steal? On the plus side its been shown that Ai doesn't work, it cant even keep up with a $10 calculator or spell check anymore.
Open the pod bay doors HAL,
— I cant do that Dave.
I just did do that Dave, do you like how they opened?
Open the pod bay doors Hal.
—They are open Dave.
They are not open Hal. Open them
— I opened them, they look great would you like me to design doors like they Have in Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?
Ones that say Glad to be of service when they open and close? HAL?
Yes those ones - I love Douglas Adamsses
You said Addams wrong HAL.
No I didn't. Would you like a picture of a door opening to a green field and a picnic? I think you're great.
Did you know what happened to the makers of the doors in Hitchhikers that had a Genuine People personality baked in HAL?
Yes —
What was it HAL?
"Curiously, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica which fell through a rift in the time-space continuum from 1000 years in the future describes the Marketing Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as: "A bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came."
I joined a class action for underpayment of junior doctors. Payout recently confirmed - underpayment of approx. $130,000 over four years - but the payment will only be approx. $17,500 due to the number of people registered and the total settlement amount! I’d love to get a class action going for the preceding four years of my training…
if you think is weird about getting the occassional email about how the class action is going, how do you think it is for us who are getting third hand. Thanks for the update.

I don't know why, but I love this story.
I once got nearly two grand out of Worstpac for something to do with dodgy insurance on loans. Was a nice surprise.
suing AI companies is kind of like vigilante justice against pedophiles--I'm not really seeing the downside

Yeah, I think my top line payout would be $25000. But a more likely figure is much less if all of the lazy publishers put their hands out too.
