No One Is in Charge at the US Copyright Office

The purpose of copyright has evolved from protecting creators to mass oppression.

AI is way better at mass oppression, however, and copyright is a threat to it, so it (copyright) will be dismantled.

Killing off copyrights, if it does, would be a big win for AI.

Meh, AI doesn't have to kill copyrights. The two oppressive systems will find a way to unite into something worse than either of them alone.

The idea of actual AI being used by governments (or just rich people) to spy on everyone, profile them, shape their ideas through targeted manipulation[0] and eliminate undesirable ones through social (destroying reputation), psychological (driving to suicide) or physical (killbots) means is way scarier than being turned into a paperclip.

[0]: Not just or fake videos or comments. Do you have someone on the internet you consider a friend but have never met in person? In the future, rich people or governments will be able to plant ideas in people and influence their thinking by generating fake friends.

5 paperclips:

• Iron in an adult: ~5 grams

• Weight of a steel paperclip: ~1 gram

They are already doing it. You and me are covered by copyright, and AI isnt. Its freedom by datacenter
