Absolutely.

All good points.

I'm trying to figure out where we should dovetail next because I feel like both things we have to chat about really connect really well.

One thing I did want to bring up before we go into some of our long form things is we did see the publishers suing Meta and Mark Zuckerberg lawsuit.

So in case anybody hasn't heard about it, I just wanted to bring everybody up to speed about it.

But essentially, five major publishers, Hachette, Macmillan, McGraw-Hill, Elsevier, and Cengage, and the best-selling novelist Scott Turow, have filed a class-action copyright infringement lawsuit against Meta and its founder and chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg.

The complaint, which was filed on Tuesday morning, which for you guys would have been last week in the Senate District of New York, accuses Meta and Zuckerberg of illegally using millions of copyrighted works to train their artificial intelligence program.

llama and removing copyright notices and other copyright management information from those works the lawsuit asserts that met his engineers relied on pirated books and journal articles to train the program by downloading unlicensed copies through websites like anna's archive an open source engine piracy sites including live gen and psi hub the suit also claims that zuckerberg himself personally authorized and actively encouraged the infringement

Representatives from Meta did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the New York Times.

So just some publishing news.

I mean, no surprises whatsoever, I think.

I'm obviously really glad this is happening and publishers are fighting back and we'll see what happens.

It'll be really interesting now that there's the anthropic precedent.

Absolutely.

Okay.

First, we're going to hear from our sponsors and then we're going to talk about the power of fit between an agent and their client.

We have some listener questions and a lot more good stuff ahead.

So stay with us.

Between school drop-offs, hitting the gym, and diving into client calls, I don't have the mental bandwidth for a wardrobe crisis.

I need pieces that feel effortless and comfortable but still look sharp.
