The fucked up thing about AI right now is that AI companies get to act like we’re in a post-copyright world, pirating from literally everyone, while the rest of us are still stuck in copyright hell.
I think intellectual property as a concept is bad, but I think that as long as it still exists companies need to be held to task when they flagrantly violate it. It needs to be enforced universally, or not at all. I don’t think it’s realistic that the rich will dismantle IP in the name of AI progress, I think we’re just seeing what we’ve always known which is that money lets you get away with anything.
