It is sort of funny that this insane level of protection placed on intellectual property by the US tech industry is exactly why the Chinese are crushing the US in terms of innovation, since the Chinese basically have an open source economy while based on what I know, you can’t make anything in the US without having to pay 100 different patent holders.
You know how most of the important things and places and moments in human history all involved increasing the spread of information? From trade routes to the printing press to the radio to the data the LLM models themselves are scraping?
Well what if we stood on the neck of that exchange and held it close and prevented it spreading. Cuz rentseeking.
