The IP system, which goes to great lengths to block things like open-access scientific publications, is borked borked borked borked borked.

If OpenAI and other generative AI projects are the means by which we finally break it so we can have culture and a public domain again, well, we had to nail Capone with tax evasion.

Yes, industrialists want to use AI [exactly they way they want to use every other idea -- plausible or not] to automate more of their industries so they can pay fewer people less money for more productivity. And this is a problem of which generative AI figures centrally, but it's not really all that new, and eventually we're going to have to force our society to recognize that it works for the public and not money. I don't think AI is going to break the system and lead us to communist revolution ( The owning class will tremble...! ) But eventually it will be 1789 all over again. Or we'll crush the fash and realize the only way we can get the fash to not come back is by restoring and extending FDR's new deal.

I am skeptical the latter can happen without piles of elite heads and rivers of politician blood.

Thats actually not a bad idea, train a model with all the data in scihub a then release the model to the public

It would still be useless, the thing would just produce bullshit papers.
