The UK is debating whether to introduce a copyright exception for AI training on publicly accessible works
I support this, with an opt-out for the few who this may impact.
Activists and publishers commonly cite DCMS arguing that the creative sector contributes 125bn in value to the UK
That stat is highly misleading. My recommendations 🧵

Author Tim Boucher explains how requiring (c) licensing of all genAI training content "results in less competition among tech companies, more revenue funneled to big media corporations and at most a trickle of spoils for artists." theinformation.com/articles/…

Fun things to do with your limited o1-preview uses that can show you the power and limitations:
🤖Give it an RFP and ask it to just do the work
🤖Give it an academic paper & ask it to offer strategies for replication

This is funny, but it raises important points that merit exploration. Some thoughts on this:
1) Big rights holders are, indeed, suing AI cos. over stuff like this. They don't want to sue it out of existence, though. Their goal is to take a windfall profit by taxing these tools.
