Meta is Building Robots and AI Brain Implants, Claude 4 Soon (youtube.com)
1:23:50 in this All In JD Vance's AI Speech, Techno-Optimists vs Doomers, Tariffs, AI Court Cases with Naval Ravikant (youtube.com) shows the difference between people who have created works and those that have not. For some reason, those who have not, even when they make their money from the creations of others, don't seem capable of understanding, even when they're otherwise pretty bright, the ownership rights society must give creators of works, otherwise no further creative works will be made by them. Jcal (and Sacks when he used to be on the show) both worked in media, in publishing, and value copyright protection, and Friedburg (a hard scientist) and Chamath (an investor) don't want any protections for anyone who creates anything, so they can use these works cart blanche to make money and technology.
Politicians, decision makers who influence other people, should not be scientists or technologists. They should be people who studied humanities (civics, sociology, anthropology, economics, history).
Napster Spotify case. Spotify pays, Napster didn't.
Google was sued for copyright but they got out of it because they linked to the content, driving traffic to the content (they also didn't just blanket copy the material and say it as their own). Murdock wanted to ‘hold the line’ and not let Google index them. But, it seems in this case and Spotify, sharing content and sharing revenue seems to be what the majority of people or companies choses.
Naval Ravikant proposes that the solution to AI compression versus copyright will be either A) pay a percentage to copyright holders, but he doubts this will work because even if US does this, China won't do this and they'll just hide their weights and Americans will use the Chinese one. Or B, if you crawl the web, opensource content, you have to make the model opensource.
If you want more content creation, they have to get paid, so even if only America protects them only in America, still that is a lot of money from American consumers. We've already been seeing this for 10 or 15 years. Latin America consumes a ton of American content, and no money comes from there, for various reasons. But it doesn't matter because enough comes from America.
