Anthropic's S1 reveals that the company considers copyright law a massive risk.
It says: "If we cannot rely on the fair use doctrine to access copyrighted work for training our models, we may be required to pay significant fees to obtain a license to such training data or our ability to further develop our models [...] and distribute models trained on such data at issue could be adversely affected."
Adverse rulings "could require us to retrain affected models from scratch at substantial cost."
It notes that the copyright questions around AI training have not been resolved in the US, and that other countries don't even have 'fair use'.
There is hope yet.

it's really interesting to see the "you're gonna get left behind/you're the only one not using it" crowd immediately shift to "that's not real" in the replies of this tweet the moment they're provided with actual data instead of speculation

Digger is a political movie that condemns the idea that watching political movies is activism. You Can See Everything is a documentary that condemns the idea that documentaries can be trusted. Incredible month for movies.

Woke 2.0 was kind of a bust but I am really seeing a lot of promise in woke 3.0

AI prompters demanding to be treated equal or superior to actual artists is right wing woke.
“I’ve put in 0 effort, but you have to call me an artist or I’ll call the HR.”
These dudes are demanding their art participation trophies for typing “grok draw spider-man”

Some guy on twitter: training ai on your work without your consent isn’t theft
The actual people who train ai: this is the largest theft of labor in human history

Google says its AI Overviews on searches create a better experience and “higher quality” clicks. We were sent research clearly showing otherwise.
- AI Overviews didn’t improve satisfaction
- and they didn’t improve visit quality
- they just reduced clicks to their sources 1/5

woah. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft.
Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

It’s clear that a number of governments are going to try to force through laws that hand creatives’ work to AI companies, on the grounds of ‘national security’.
But this is an abysmally weak justification for stripping away creatives’ rights. Two core reasons why:
1. Permitting training on people’s work in your country does nothing for your national security. Your country will still not own the most powerful model - so what have you gained? If you think AI presents a national security concern, having the second best model does zero to protect you.
2. Most creative work is totally unnecessary to building AI for national security. As an obvious example, if you want AI for cyber security, you don’t need to train on music. The AI companies know this. But they push for a broad copyright exception that gives them the right to train on *everything* because that is better for them commercially - and governments listen because they are afraid and largely clueless.
Upending creatives’ rights in the name of national security is a lazy and poorly-thought-through idea that would fail to deliver on its goals but would be sure to harm the world’s creative community. It should be fought at all costs.

You don't access skills, you develop them.
Using a third party - whether it's paying a person or a program - doesn't grant you skills. It doesn't make you creative.
This is using progressive language to support and justify labor theft, while maligning artists.

The lesson we should have taken from the internet is that exempting a new industry from the rules of society creates perverse incentives, leading to outcomes that favor the few at the expense of the many.
We should not repeat that mistake with AI.
30 years ago, we decided that the best way to develop technology was to give tech platforms broad immunity for the harm they caused, to treat "the internet" as wholly different, and untether it from common law, preempt state law. Remove it from the normal domain of law built up over generations; and put it in its own special category. Wholly different = outside of common law and state law.
Today, with very different motivations, the big AI companies are asking for a lot of things, but MUCH of what they are asking for is not to be subject to law itself, to be untethered from state regulators, to be untethered from existing federal law and to be untethered from tort. Wholly different = wholly new regime, reject law as it lives in the world.
They are asking for their own special regime in 100 different ways--exemptions from existing law, preemption from state law, their own regulator.
If we take the threats to human health and wellbeing seriously, the last thing we should do is remove them from the normal domain of law.
Instead, a serious precautionary regime requires state law, tort law, strong and strengthened consumer protection law with stronger private rights of actions, using existing strong protections against corporate collusion, decentralized modes of enforcement so that capture at the federal level does not mean wholesale capture (build on state parens patraie), and likely a federal regulatory regime that is built WITHIN an existing agency, like the federal NRC and NNSA, instead of something wholly new, to avoid the most obvious risk of dangerous agency capture, both by self-interested parties and by the post-law ideology of the EA world.
Any vision that requires preemption or immunity is a non-starter, and smuggles in unimaginable risk.

Pivotal week in Big AI’s work to undermine centuries of copyright law by getting Trump’s team and DOJ to put its thumb on the scale for them.
Conservative legal mind and activist Mike Davis has now weighed in (rightly) calling DOJ’s position “un-
American and absurd.” 1/2

Find myself reading The Times statement again. It’s so damn spot on.
- trillion dollar AI companies stole the work of creators
- not having to pay fairly for content undermines market for human-created content
- AI needs this content to function
- healthy society does, too

TLDR:
If you steal a 3 dollar sandwich, you get arrested.
But if you steal every bit of art, writing and music on earth, you get declared “too big to fail” and are allowed to write the laws now
