At some level, IP makes sense — creators should be rewarded. But IP only benefits those who claim it. The benefits rarely flow back to humanity who made it all possible. Every LLM was trained on humanity's collective knowledge. The value was created collectively, then captured privately.
That's the reason I like the idea of DUKI/dju:ki/ — Decentralized Universal Kindness Income, similar to UBI but driven by voluntary kindness and sincere marketing rather than taxation. If AI makes creation trivially easy and IP loses its justification, the question becomes: how do we ensure a tiny part of the wealth generated flows back to everyone?
