I know he wants to use all the data to train LLMs, but do you think this would positively affect the average person, or would the laws still target the little guys?

Removing all copyright protections would essentially be a reset and would ultimately be a negative for society, even compared to now.

Now, on the trajectory that we're making, we're in a bad place and heading to a much worse place very quickly. We have to do something.

Getting rid of copyright protections entirely is not it. You must have protections for privacy and investment protections that encourage innovation. But where we are right now is entirely too far.

You must also consider AI as a pressing issue in ethics, with a WAY higher priority than copyright protections, but also with copyright protections as a variable.

Nothing is ever simple. Anybody who says anything is simple is manipulating you, and even the truth to that statement, itself, is complicated.

Bold claim when most innovations are actually discovered by public universities and government research and not "market forces!
