I just sent a letter telling AI companies they do not not have the right to use my work. Use the @authorsguild's letter template to send your own: https://t.co/MZ6Hce2VF2
New AI report from US Copyright Office underscores that copyright protection is reserved for works exhibiting human creativity....but this will evolve. Onus now falls on writers to keep good records should questions about authorship later arise. (Ugh...what?!)
Today, the Copyright Office released Part 2 of its #AI Report, “Copyright and Artificial Intelligence,” which addresses the copyrightability of outputs created using generative AI. (1/3)
NEW: Jeff Bezos says he's 'very optimistic' about the incoming Trump administration, offering to help streamline regulations and dismissing concerns about Elon Musk leveraging government power against competitors.
"I'm actually very optimistic this time around. He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation and from my point of view, if I can help him do that, I'm going to help him because we do have too many regulations in this country."
"If you look at the national debt and how gigantic it is as a portion of GDP, these are real long-term problems, and the way we get out of them is by outgrowing them. You're going to solve the problem of the national debt by making it a smaller percentage of GDP. Not by shrinking the national debt but by growing the GDP. You have to grow the denominator, and that means you have to grow GDP at, you know, 3, 4, or 5 percent a year."
"If you can do that, this is a very manageable problem. So we need a growth orientation in this country. The most important thing is a growth mindset. And we are the luckiest country in the world. We have all these natural resources, including energy independence. We have the best risk capital system in the world..."
"But we are burdened by excessive permitting and regulation. You can't build a bridge, and we see these examples all the time. I'm very optimistic that President Trump is serious about this regulatory agenda, and I think that he has a good chance of succeeding..."
"You've probably grown in the last eight years. He has, too. What I've seen so far is that he is calmer than he was the first time, more confident, and more settled."

Here, Sam tells Elon to start a non-profit organization with the top 50 techs in the world, developing AI.
It’s amazing how he refers to multiple things inside the email and being so concise at the same time.
See yourself (Elon’s answer is funny):
Sam Altman of OpenAI on access to content: I think we do need a new deal/standard/protocol to how creators are going to get rewarded. I very much believe in the right to learn…I think those parts of copyright law and fair use really need to keep applying. @nytimes
On the Q of hoovering up original content for free, ARS asks: NYT has a lawsuit [going on right now] against OPenAI on the training of content. For those folks who have been in this room who create content…that have had their information trained on…how we should feel?
ARS: Many are worried about [Elon’s] close relationship with the president-elect.
Sam: I'm actually not. I believe…that Elon will do the right thing, and it would be profoundly un-American to use political power, to the degree that he has it, to hurt your competitors...
