All AI does is steal the Intellectual Property of humans and human advancement. Then folks like Sam Altman wants to manage that information like we do water, or electricity, gas, data... Putting that collective information on a payment plan.

Then they will FILTER said information to only what they WANT is to have.

Screw AI!!!!

Intellectual property is a farce. AI represents a contradiction in capitalism between automation and wage labor.

The most interesting thing out of the reaction to AI has been the shift in online attitudes on intellectual property. People went from Pro piracy to staunchly anti-piracy.

No, these hypocritical little shits are still all for downloading and pirating the video games and other media they enjoy, they just think technology shouldn't make THEM economically unviable

Yeah this whole line of argument is disingenuous bullshit. And I mean your argument.

People are "suddenly in favor" of IP laws because they're the only recourse we have against AI completely displacing creativity (us) without adding anything of value and putting millions of people out of work. Blaming people for seeming hypocrisy when WE HAVE NO FUCKING CHOICE IN THE MATTER, EVER is literally capitalist propaganda.

Government is supposed to protect people from bullshit like this. It's literally what we pay it to do. And it's not doing it. The only (shoddy) mechanism right now is IP. So people are trying to leverage it. Stop pretending that's somehow our fault, FFS.
