The CCP adopted capitalism too.

There's no sense in worrying how closely the university aligns real policy with various theoretical economic ideals.

If we allow copyright law to directly inhibit technological advancement then we defeat the very purpose of copyright law.

That said, it need not inhibit if they just pay for using it. Hopefully they will sue for reasonable compensation, noting that they have such a privilege only in a handful of countries so any restriction is strictly a restriction on those countries, which is a huge technological advantage for all the rest.

I try to see both sides.

Copyright law can be misused and can inhibit some advancement, but the fact that “certain groups” or “certain companies” can just ignore laws with no ramifications is something else. If it’s probably life-saving or a pipeline of a dream (see Elon musk always promising FSD), then they should pay or prove the end result.

		I agree. You can be right (in my opinion), and stupidly file a bad case (in my opinion), simultaneously. You can be right, and dead at the same time. Just because I think they filed stupid doesn't imply that I think they are wrong.

Yes, just give me my food ration comrade. It is all I need to keep making art for the glory of The Party and it's Supreme Leader. Everything I do I do for the glory of AI. AI is progress!

		Personally I worry that AI is an existential threat that is totally out of anyone's control by now. Not sure if you read my comment in a different light or not, but I do get the feeling you misunderstood my meaning.
