“The present IP system can be abused by actors powerful enough to abuse all of our legal systems, therefore we need a much more restrictive IP system” really isn’t clicking for me.
I continue to feel that:
1. The “AI” companies’ PR is based in creating sense of inevitability, and people who don’t like what they’re doing feel bulldozed.
2. This bulldozed feeling is a goal of the PR strategy, because it manifests as anti-“AI” people pitching mostly poorly thought-out and easily dismissed arguments in desperation.
I say some version of this every six weeks and every six weeks I get three polite faves and that’s it, so discount as you see fit.
@vruba No, I think about your “What’s being proposed may not be great, but this assemblage of dogshit argument against it also isn’t doing anyone any good; we should think more carefully about it” position often.
@urschrei I would go further than “may not be great” but I’m glad.
@vruba oh I know – I don’t think I’ll ever shake the reflexive tendency to understate that they baked into me over there. You pay a high price for taking the queen’s shilling.
