US government sides with OpenAI on issue of training LLMs on copyrighted material: »it is critical for the United States to ‘retain global leadership in artificial intelligence.«

Misleading title from Techcrunch. It’s the Trump Administration only (which we already know)

Is there another US government?

The government is not a single entity. When I read “US government” I anticipated congress or a court ruling. But it was neither, just Trump (which we already know)
