It would be interesting to have a "classical AI model", trained on the contents of the Harvard libraries before 1926 and now out of copyright.
If you thought AI now had out-of-control racism...

#32How useful is low-quality content like Youtube comments and tweets anyway? Is it a common/important use case to generate tweet-length, tweet-quality content? Are most use cases of generating tweet-type content spam/fraud? Would a model be better off if it was unable to perform those use cases?
Even if SNR is low, there is some information that only exists on X, or at least is the primary source. Just look at how many submissions on HN are X posts.

#33Who's training an AI on the "Tweet" button text?
Or are they trying to forgo section 230 protection and claim ownership of content uploaded to the site?

It does surprise me that we haven't seen nations revise their copyright window back to something sensible in a play to seed their own nascent AI industry. The American founding fathers thought 20 years was enough. I'm sure there'd be repercussions in the banking system, but at some point it might be worth the trade.

they can't
a 50 year minimum is part of the berne convention, which itself is as close to a universal law as humanity has
(even North Korea is a signatory)

you can also just ignore the berne convention, and accept whatever consequences there might be

Why would it matter? Copyright has been irrelevant so far.

50 year copyright terms would still be a big improvement over the current state of US copyright law. That would make the first Star Wars public domain in just 2 years.
