Copyright reform is necessary for national security \ stacker news ~AI

pull down to refresh

If the West wants to stay ahead in the race of LLMs, and ultimately, AGI, it needs to reconsider its position on copyright, and soon. Whether you agree with us or not on our moral case, this is now becoming a case of economics, and even of national security. All power blocs are building artificial super-scientists, super-hackers, and super-militaries. Freedom of information is becoming a matter of survival for these countries — even a matter of national security.

This is vaguely reminiscent of the war on drugs or guns - empowering our enemies and bad guys by hamstringing the good guys.

lol, this is funny and I hope it will wake people up to the problems in IP "law". Its all bullshit and it is gonna hurt those that abide by the "laws". What do you do when other nations and companies ignore it.

IP is fiat. That's the shortest tldr; I can come up with.

Copying is not stealing. Its copying. Stealing results in the thief having something that the victim once had and now no longer has.

The only way to "enforce" IP is to have a central authority or arbiter. Since the world is an anarchy IP laws are only possible if states agree to respect them. China might in word but not in action. So you are left with these "positive rights" being unenforceable. It requires violence to enforce them and with nation-states that means war.

The whole thing is absurd.
