Guarantee their plan is to blow through copyright laws to create a monopoly fiefdom, close the door behind them and demand that copyright is used to protect the work their LLM creates.

Oh no! How could we ever live without AI?

I don’t think they’re wrong in saying that if they aren’t allowed to train on copyrighted works then they will fall behind. Maybe I missed it in the article, but Japan for example has that exact law (use of copyright to train generative AI is allowed).

Personally I think we need to give them somewhat of an out by letting them do it but then taxing the fuck out of the resulting product. “You can use copyrighted works for training but then 50% of your profits are taxed”. Basically a recognition that the sum of all copyrighted works is a societal good and not just an individual copyright holders.

Then perish, OpenAI. If your only innovation is a legal loophole then you did nothing.

What a giant load of crap.

I'll take him seriously if & when OpenAI lives up to its name.

My main takeaway is that some contrived notion of "national security" has now become an acceptable justification for business decisions in the US.

Is that a promise?

He's right tho. China don't care. You think the west will be able to outcompete China with such limitations?

And the end result is the same, no one was compensated and a dictatorship is running one of the most important new IT tools.
