    Okay, I can work with this. Hey Altman you can train on anything that’s public domain, now go take those fuck ton of billions and fight the copyright laws to make public domain make sense again.

      This is the correct answer. Never forget that US copyright law originally allowed for a 14 year (renewable for 14 more years) term. Now copyright holders are able to:

      • reach consumers more quickly and easily using the internet
      • market on more fronts (merch didn’t exist in 1710)
      • form other business types to better hold/manage IP

      So much in the modern world exists to enable copyright holders, but terms are longer than ever. It’s insane.
