I hope this results in Fair Use being expanded to cover AI training. This is way more important to humanity's future than any single media outlet. If the NYT goes under, a dozen similar outlets can replace them overnight. If we lose AI to stupid IP battles in its infancy, we end up handicapping probably the single most important development in human history just to protect some ancient newspaper. Then another country is going to do it anyway, and still the NYT is going to get eaten.

Couldn't disagree more strongly, and I hope the outcome is the exact opposite. I think we've already started to see the severe negative consequences when the lion's share of the profits get sucked up by very, very few entities (e.g. we used to have tons of local papers and other entities that made money through advertising, now Google and Facebook, and to a smaller extent Amazon, suck up the majority of that revenue). The idea that everyone else gets to toil to make the content but all the profits flow to the companies with the best AI tech is not a future that's going to end with the utopia vision AI boosters think it will.

So you want all the profit to be sucked up by the three companies that can afford to make deals with rights holders to slurp up all their content?

Making the process for training AI require an army of lawyers and industry connections will have the opposite effect than you intend.
