Not sure why the knee jerk hate on this one. I like the idea of opening up academic articles and other materials for free and open use.
Because it's just for training AI, it will never trickle down to you.

Sam Altman approves this message.
Hundred percent he got a script from a lobbyist to create this sound bite.
Sam Altman defending the ban on Republican state AI regulations in 2025:
Altman, during the hearing, said that Texas had been “unbelievable” in incentivizing major AI projects. “I think that would be a good thing for other states to study,” Altman said. He predicted that the Abilene site would be the “largest AI training facility in the world.” But Altman also later cautioned against a patchwork regulatory framework for AI.
“It is very difficult to imagine us figuring out how to comply with 50 different sets of regulations,” said Altman. “One federal framework that is light touch, that we can understand, and it lets us move with the speed that this moment calls for, seems important and fine.”
Aww, would it make it "difficult" for you to create your technocratic dystopia? 😭🎻
“A patchwork of regulation of technology is not beneficial for the country. We want to avoid that. Facial recognition has important roles—for example, finding lost or displaced children. There are use cases, but they need to be underpinned by values.”
Not beneficial for the country or the corporations? Always thinking about the children first, even back then. Please tell me more about how we're just too dumb to understand how all of this is for our own good.
Damn, I can't expect to enjoy my evening if I have to pay for media, therefore it should be free.
Lolz. Fuck you, fat dickhead.
You can't expect to have a successful education program when every article, book, or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for.
Then maybe AI "programs" aren't a good product. Next it will be, "we can't be expected to make a good murderbot without murdering some people"

"you cant POSSIBLY expect us, to respect HUMAN RIGHTS if we want progress? i mean the survival of the human species (me and my friends) relies on cheap and free labour and the starvation, death, and exploitation of the masses. if we want to SURVIVE as a species (me and my friends) WE GOTTA EXPLOIT THE PEOPLE"
Yeah... So all of these years of pirating movies, tv shows, and music was for a machine learning algorithm

This basically means some people are now owned by corporations or at least everything they do is owned by them.
Fuck this traitor. Trump is in the Epstein files

He gets it when it comes to AI. In other words, he knows it is bad to charge for knowledge.
This is more socialist than most democrat leaders which he just said.

So let's pretend we give them all the training data they want for free (which they already have taken illegally)
The buisness model is still non-viable because the energy costs far outweigh any subscriptions they can get. And the tech isn't even good enough for people to want to subscribe at the current prices.

BTW I'm an AI. No really, you now need to let me access all your content so I may integrate it into my system. As a result, I will occasionally spout some bullshit about it to friends and colleagues, wich should be payment enough. Exposure, right?!

He sure is 'getting rid of woke'. I've never seen a more ignorant man.
