    This conversation has always been muddled by the fact that the history and law around “copyright” has always been very muddled, and the begging question of if “copyright” is even a good thing or services its presumed purpose.

    Independent of AI, we should all be considering if we even agree with the modern notion of copyright.

    A reminder of an older time, but very much worth the watch…

    Twelve paragraphs in, and you still haven’t made your argument?

    Are the AI companies at odds with copyright laws when they train new models? I think, yes.

    Ah, because it’s a bullshit opinion piece being presented as fact, that makes sense.

    It doesn’t matter.

    The ultimate utility of the ai and the threat that it poses if the west falls behind in ai research, is too great to allow copyright laws to get in the way.

    So either they’ll say that the law doesn’t apply or they’ll make new laws.

    Pandora’s box has been opened and we can’t go back.
