This would basically grant facebook and google a monopoly on AI -- as they'll put training on your material as part of their TOS and then be the only players with enough market power to get adequate amounts of training material.
It would grant China an even bigger victory since China's models do not have to abide by any US copyrights.
Google and Microsoft are using proxy companies to steal all the copyrighted content ever produced, and you're blaming China, or suggesting it'd be worse if they did it? Right.
Indeed, and perhaps not just China.
The US started off not acknowledging foreign copyrights for a long time-- until it had a large enough base of material it wanted reciprocally protected.
If not adopting these rules grants you the ability to produce SOTA AI's while most of the US can't we can expect it to be widespread.
This actually gives me a little hope-- the US cutting it's own throat this way vs other countries would be better than granting google and facebook a monopoly.
