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.

"probably the single most important development in human history" is the kind of hyperbole you'd only find here. Better than medicine, agriculture, electrification, or music? That point of view simply does not jive with what I see so far from AI. It has had little impact beyond filling the internet with low-effort content.

I feel like the crypto evangelists never got off the hype train. They just picked a new destination. I hope the NYT is compensated for the theft of their IP and hopefully more lawsuits follow.

I mean maybe not the single most important development, but definitely a very important technological development with the potential to revolutionize multiple industries

Can I ask what industries with what application? I've seen lots of task like summarizing articles or producing text. The image and video work seems too rudimentary to be taken seriously.

Is there something out there that seems like a killer application?

I was amazed at the idea of the block chain but we never found a use for it outside of cryptocurrency. I see a similariy with AI hype.

Well front page of HN right now is an article about how AI aided in the development of a new antibiotic

That wasn't an LLM trained on copywritten material.
