It looks like the stance of FSF is for proliferation of the copyleft to trained LLMs

No, it looks like the stance of the FSF is that models should be free as a matter of principle, the same as their stance when it comes to software. Nothing in the linked post contradicts the description that the judgement was that the training was fair use.
In Azimov's Robot series the society that chose to live with robots gradually destructed itself by just living longer and not having so many children. The other part of humanity that avoided robots flourished (not without suffering). But that all required new planets for settlement (I am looking at you Elon).
Trying not to spoil a 40+ year old story, but Asimov eventually retconned that the flourishing of humanity was driven by a benevolent AI behind the curtain.
Apprenticeship. You will have to prove to the company that working at a minimal wage is still beneficial. Or we can take it even further, you will have to pay the company for getting the necessary experience. Maybe you sign a 5 year contract with a big cancellation fee. It is not unheard of. I remember some of the navy schools having something like this. You study for 5 years for free (bed and food are paid by the school) and then you have to work for at least 5 years for the navy or pay a very big fine if you refuse to do so.
30+ minutes is a gross underestimation IMHO. It is probably somewhere in the range 1:10, 10:100, especially if you include the cost of context switches a senior has to do. In my experience, the loss of flow, due to context switch is very prominent and sometimes painful.
It's quite possible that the rich will essentially form a new economy.
They build the robots to build the factories, run the mines, build the solar farms, run the research labs, repair the robots, etc. They sell to and buy from each other.
Unless you can provide a (community) curated list of sources to search through (e.g. using MCP). Then I think local models may become really competitive.
Guitars certainly have a more intimate connection between the touch of fingers and the sound, including the bending of the tone, one of Hendrix’s virtuosities.
Keyboards can approach that with polyphonic touch keys like the Hydrasynth (lean into keys, pressing them harder, for bending the tone in a configured patch), sustain pedals, and pitch bend/modulation controls, but not the nuanced touch of skin on a vibrating string.
I think synth guitars exist, too, but don’t know anything about them. The pedalboards are enough, maybe :)
