If IP is respected, the AI companies will flee to China. The problem for Meta with that is that China does not respect IP. Meta wants to have their cake and eat it too.
Software has already been gutted of almost all IP protections. It's time the other industries caught up. Why should Google be allowed to steal a Java API, but can't steal DJ Razamataz's mix tape song ordering? IP has failed and clinging to it will ensure some other country will win AI.
What we should really is just have the government give artists money to make works for the public domain and then recover it from companies who use it with taxes.
Why do executives think it’s acceptable to ban humans from destroying capital by ignoring IP and yet simultaneously say the opposite with regard to software agents?
This whole conversation is sociopathic stupidity of who should be allowed to rob from who and trying to qualify the obvious hypocrisy against unqualified trends.
