So, to recap: the suggestion is: the UK creative industries grant open access to all their historic and future work and IP, without payment, to the brains behind a nascent industry that just tanked $1tn in a couple of hours. Sure. Seems great.

Not that there will much left of the creative industries soon. Our Government seems to be lacking any clear idea of what we do and how important it is, while trying to be an AI centre. Baffling.
OpenAi raises $6.6billion in only their last funding rounds. Deepseek make a comparable model for just £6 Million, and then open sources the code for everyone.
1. Someone's strealing money in OpenAI
2. Their business model is now dead anyway
Deepseek is very impressive but it is a distillation model so it was trained using all the other AI models, it wouldn't exist without the data the others have already stolen. It's also open weights, not open source, it hasn't released code or training data so we don't know what's it's stolen.

Though my ignorant bliss kind of wishes you hadn’t.
Perhaps we should sit the Government down and play them that old piracy promo from the DVDs? “You wouldn’t steal a car…”
