One of the questions in that survey about AI and copyright begins “What steps can the government take to encourage AI developers to train their models in the UK?" Yes, the government is so stupid as to think “where training happens” delivers meaningful economic benefit.

@ianb building new data centers causes lots of problems that look like investment though

@otfrom Yep! And of course we would build them, running training models on them for a couple of years, and then they would move the actual work to somewhere cheaper.

Why is the UK government doing this?
AI owned by non-UK corporations is just going to steal all this work done by UK people without credit or compensation. Seems like a dereliction of duty to be helping foreign companies steal your own citizens' work?
Has someone in the UK government been paid off and/or promised a career after they leave politics? It was suspicious enough that UK Deputy PM Clegg ended up at Meta/Facebook when he left government.

@FediThing @ianb while I doubt they even think of it as enabling theft, if they did I'm sure their logic would be "might as well get our piece of the pie"

But, they're not even getting that? The money from this will go to foreign corporations.
(The only thing that makes sense is if the politicians are being secretly paid off...?)

@FediThing @tim They evidently think it will mean lots of data centres built here (because I'm sure that is what Microsoft, OpenAI et al are telling them). And because they have zero actual experience in tech or business, they believe them.
