I think IP law is overwhelmingly bullshit and it's exhausting for people to keep calling it problematic because of baseless accusations with no legal precedent.

I think IP law is overwhelmingly bullshit and it's exhausting for people to keep calling it problematic because of baseless accusations with no legal precedent.
On the off chance there is at some point some case law that builds around this - who cares. IP laws are garbage and problematic and in 99.9% of cases only serve to enrich millionaires and billionaires.
- anileated 4y agoIMO recognition of intellectual property is precisely why Western society excelled in innovation so far, and ironically without it being the case the very tech powering products like ChatGPT would not exist.
- 93po 4y agoIn 99.9999% of cases, the people doing the actual innovative work are not the people who hold the patents. These people would do this work, patent or not
- anileated 4y agoYou mix up patents and copyright. It’s not required for you to patent everything you publish, you simply own it and people are not allowed (by law) to just take it and use in whatever way they want (e.g., alter it and pass as their own). You may allow this by distributing it under a permissive license, or the platform you use to publish it may have terms that give it certain rights to your work, but by default you own the work and can fully control how it is allowed to be used. Which principle OpenAI is basically throwing out of the window. People who do the actual work do so because they take pride in it. The work is their child, and they feel valued because people know and appreciate them for doing it. If you believe that most people who do the actual original work do so without any pride or concern for recognition or control over their work, then you are living in a different world than I.
