Technology

A ton of people need to read some basic background on how copyright, trademark, and patents protect people. Having none of those things would be horrible for modern society. Wiping out millions of jobs, medical advancements, and putting control into the hands of companies who can steal and strongarm the best. If you want to live in a world run by Mafia style big business then sure.

Then don't

Intellectual property is crap anyway

I've learned from lemmy that individual's abuse of copyright is good👍

LLMs trained on copyrighted material and suddenly everyone is an advocate for more strict copyright enforcement?

TBH I only use LLMs when traditional search fails and even then I'm not sure if I'm getting something useful or hallucination. I need better search engines not fancy AI bullshitters

I wonder if the act of picking cotton was copyrighted, would we had got the cotton gin? We have automated most non-creative pursues and displaced their workers. Is it because people can take joy out of creative pursues that we balk at the automation? If you have a particular style in picking items to fulfill Amazon orders, should that be copyrighted and protected from being used elsewhere?

We’ll, strictly speaking you could have an AI that only knows about the world up to 1928 and talks like it’s 1928.
