AI's development is critically important for America – and it all hinges on these freedoms The development of Artificial Intelligence is critically important for America. Here's how we can do that.

OpenAI's Jason Kwon: "To sustain America’s AI lead and maximize its benefits for education, science, and healthcare, policymakers must ensure that copyright law fulfills its constitutional mandate to encourage creativity and innovation."

Mat Dryhurst on X: "The UK is debating whether to introduce a copyright exception for AI training on publicly accessible works I support this, with an opt-out for the few who this may impact.

The best analysis of the whole DeepSeek news is from Stratechery. But I worry that it's too "technical" for non-AI nerds to easily digest. Reminds me of the early days of the Internet boom, when a similar gap opened up for a short while.
