The history of copyright is indeed a history of deciding what control people have over their own published works. Fair use is designed to let people transform and build on each other’s creations without permission or compensation, and that’s very frequently a good thing. That said, some AI developers have interpreted it far more broadly than most courts. Microsoft’s AI CEO, for instance, said earlier this year that anything “on the open web” was “freeware” and “anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it.” (This is categorically legally false: content posted publicly online is no less protected by copyright than any other medium, and to the extent you can copy or modify it under fair use, you can also copy or modify a book, movie, or paywalled article.)
“I think individual creators or publishers tend to overestimate the value of their specific content in the grand scheme of this,” Zuckerberg said in the interview, which coincides with Meta’s annual Connect event. “My guess is that there are going to be certain partnerships that get made when content is really important and valuable.” But if creators are concerned or object, “when push comes to shove, if they demanded that we don’t use their content, then we just wouldn’t use their content. It’s not like that’s going to change the outcome of this stuff that much.”
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says there are complex copyright questions around scraping data to train AI models, but he suggests the individual work of most creators isn’t valuable enough for it to matter. In an interview with The Verge deputy editor Alex Heath, Zuckerberg said Meta will likely strike “certain partnerships” for useful content. But if others demand payment, then — as it’s done with news outlets — the company would prefer to walk away.
A screenshot from the article in the Salt Lake Tribune, which reads, "On Monday, Cox posted photos on social media walking side-by-side with Trump at Arlington National Cemetery. Tuesday evening, reports emerged that the former president’s campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation with cemetery officials that day. NPR first reported that when a cemetery official tried to stop Trump’s staff from filming and photographing in a section of the cemetery where recent U.S. casualties are buried, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside."

A screenshot from the AMA Originally published in 2020, the AASM position statement has since been endorsed by, among others, the: American Academy of Cardiovascular Sleep Medicine. American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. American Association of Sleep Technologists. American College of Chest Physicians. American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. National Safety Council. Society of Anesthesia and Sleep Medicine. Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. World Sleep Society.
Although many acute effects have been identified when transitioning from ST to DST in the spring, the seasonal time change alone has adverse impacts. For example, transitioning from DST to ST in the fall has been associated with sleep disruption,9 mood disturbance,36 patient safety-related incidents,27 suicide,13 and traffic accidents.37 Furthermore, the autumn DST-to-ST transition, while commonly thought to be beneficial because it is associated with “an extra hour of sleep,” still elicits significant variations in serum lymphocytes, cortisol, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and melatonin, which may be associated with the abrupt transition.14 The DST-to-ST shift also has been associated with increased incidence of unipolar depressive episodes36 and frequency of medical leave due to ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease (a surrogate marker of acute flares of inflammatory bowel disease).38
Shifting from ST to DST in the spring has also been associated with an increased risk of multiple adverse health outcomes. Indeed, in large-claims datasets, a variety of health effects have been reported across multiple organ systems and disease states.18 Cardiovascular event rates are increased.19 The risks of myocardial infarction,20,21 stroke,22 and hospital admissions due to acute atrial fibrillation23 increase during the spring time change. Consequences to mental health include death secondary to suicide and overdose.19,24 An increased risk of pregnancy loss following in vitro fertilization has also been observed.19 The impact on health care utilization includes increased emergency room visits and return visits to the hospital,25 missed medical appointments,26 medical injuries,18 and medical errors.27
