It would be extremely interesting to me if the usgov produces a model which honors copyright and is also useful. This would give them extreme leverage over the labs, who may be violating copyright in significant and obvious ways.
Honestly the battle for copyright with models is lost. The takeaway is copyright applies to you as a small user and not to billion/trillion dollar companies. Same as any other US law, really.
Someone needs to pointedly violate the copyright on Trump's books and TV shows via AI and somehow get him to enforce copyright laws that way...
Yeah, I felt this way too, and it's probably beyond the capacity of the federal government to organize in this way - but it is theoretically possible that the DOE could build a copyright respecting model (which it seems like they are doing here) and then a like minded DoJ could come a calling for the Labs. It may never happen, but something to ponder.
