Copyright & capitalism is the crucial part of how we have the technical foundation that got us ML and most of the material used for training it. Big tech companies that want to monetize it at scale would like us to not think about that (or any long term consequences that do not affect shareholder value beyond current management), of course. If anything, the problem with intellectual property law is that they feel it’s safe for them to ignore it when it comes to ordinary people’s work (good luck suing ClosedAI).
