Even if they win against openAI, how would this prevent something like a Chinese or Russian LLM from “stealing” their content and making their own superior LLM that isnt weakened by regulation like the ones in the United States.

And I say this as someone that is extremely bothered by how easily mass amounts of open content can just be vacuumed up into a training set with reckless abandon and there isn’t much you can do other than put everything you create behind some kind of authentication wall but even then it’s only a matter of time until it leaks anyway.

Pandora’s box is really open, we need to figure out how to live in a world with these systems because it’s an un winnable arms race where only bad actors will benefit from everyone else being neutered by regulation. Especially with the massive pace of open source innovation in this space.

We’re in a “mutually assured destruction” situation now, but instead of bombs the weapon is information.

Another way to look at it is to consider being stolen part of business model.

There are massive number of piracy content in China, but Hollywood are also making billions in the same time, and in fact China already surpassed NA as #1 market for Hollywood years ago [1].

NYT is obvious different than Disney, and may not be able to bend their knees far enough, but maybe there can be similar ways out of this.
