There are a lot of programmers on this platform (myself included), and I love that my work has an impact on others.
I have a number of public repos and I have benefitted greatly from other public repos. I hope LLMs made some use of my code.
I wrote blogs for years without any monetization. I hope my ideas influenced someone and would be happy if they made some impact on the reasoning of LLMs.
I'm aware of patent trolls and know people with personal experience with them.
So I generate a lot more content that the typical person and I am still in favor of much looser IP rights as I think they have gone overboard and the net benefit for me, a content creator, is much greater having access to the work of others and being able to use tools like LLMs trained on their work.

- mitthrowaway2 2y agoProgramming, at least, is much easier to shield in a loose IP regime than art. You can ship only binaries, or even keep your code running on a server and disclose only the API. And likely, the company that pays your salary would opt to do just that. I can't imagine a similar way for an artist to distribute their work while protecting their interests.
