    “Limiting training data to public domain books and drawings created more than a century ago might yield an interesting experiment, but would not provide AI systems that meet the needs of today’s citizens.”

    exactly which “needs” are they trying to meet?

        Yeah it’s right up there on the list of what shareholders need to survive:

        Water

        Food

        Solid CAGR of investment portfolio

        Shelter

        Human contact

        Etc

        (CAGR being Compound Annual Growth Rate)

      Sounds awesome, let’s lobby for shorter copyrights! ~30 years feels more than reasonable.
