Scott CaravelloHostRight now, the Library of Congress, which reports up to Congress, is in charge of the Copyright Office.
It is not a branch or part of the executive branch, but there's a bill to potentially make it part of the executive branch.
And so, Scott, why do we care? We're going to get to Claude Mithos in a minute.
The primary point here, right, is that even though the copyright office's positions are not binding on the court's or anyone else.
The fact is that it sets out through guidance, research reports, etc., positions that can be very influential.
And so in this world where AI training and fair use is such a hot developing issue that's of such importance to developers and the economy, you talk about a potential shift that comes with that as the office could come within control of the executive branch, and this administration's priorities could then be reflected in who they appoint to run the office and that shifts policy in the public domain.
Yeah, it's something really worth paying attention to and you could easily overlook it.
So it's H.R. 6028, which is the name of the bill that the House just passed.
And it was by voice vote, which means normally you would think with a voice vote that things have a fair amount of support.
So this is by no means a sure thing, but it really could change the trajectory of how fair use gets treated if the copyright office is part of the executive branch, because it means that things could be done effectively by executive order that otherwise would have to be done in a different way.
So let's just sort of hold on to that as a little FYI, little piece of information, and then head back to the new incarnation of Claude Mythos through Fable 5.
