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.

fucking thank goodness

His personal race is over? Oooohhhh, so sorry for him.

AI is not over at all. Maybe he himself will not become the ruler of the world now. No loss.

Its simple really. We need to steal from humans who make things to train our computers to make things so the computers can replace the humans who make things and we dont want to pay the humans who made the original things because they will be replaced soon enough anyway. Easy peasy. Do you guys even capitalism?

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

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