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.
Sad to see you leave (not really, tho'), love to watch you go!
Edit: I bet if any AI developing company would stop acting and being so damned shady and would just ASK FOR PERMISSION, they'd receive a huge amount of data from all over. There are a lot of people who would like to see AGI become a real thing, but not if it's being developed by greedy and unscrupulous shitheads. As it stands now, I think the only ones who are actually doing it for the R&D and not as eye-candy to glitz away people's money for aesthetically believable nonsense are a handful of start-up-likes with (not in a condescending way) kids who've yet to have their dreams and idealism trampled.
In Spain we trained an AI using a mix of public resources available for AI training and public resources (legislation, congress sessions, etc). And the AI turned out quite good. Obviously not top of the line, but very good overall.
It was a public project not a private company.

Alright, I confess! Almost all of my training in computer programming came from copyrighted material. Put the cuffs on me!

National security my ass. More like his time span to show more dumb "achievements" while getting richer depends on it and nothing else
Sorry to say, but he's right. For AI to truly flourish in the West, it needs access to all previously human made information and media.

Fair use doesn't mean shit if you're a pirate.
Arr, matey.
AI always been about using stolen stuff
Oh no! How could we ever live without AI?
He means development of AI in public view is over. Governments will continue without regard for copyright protections until we are all dead.
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.
