Agreeing with @mmasnick that #copyright is not the tool to rely on to avoid that #ai companies slurp up and use all available data. I made a similar point in an interview with the Mercury News a couple of weeks ago: first, let's figure out what the *right* thing is here -- because we don't know -- , and then what rules we need to get there. Because machines reading all textbooks, movies etc is a genuinely new thing, likely requiring new approaches to regulation.

@J12t @mmasnick I’m in with you. We actually had chances to learn about a new class of art, the #transform, innumerable times. For example wirh Hip-Hop music.
But we keep ignoring the signs shoehorning everything into the ”original artist” conception and rubberband back to the old.
I’m a #musicologist, and I’ve read so many good theories that never get out of libraries on this.
