A quotation from Maria Popova

Somewhere, some rights-holder — in this case, Kultur Video — decided it was better for the world that no one see the interview online than that people see it and no one profit from it. This, right here, is the deepest, saddest brokenness of current thinking on intellectual “property” as a wealth of humanity’s greatest intellectual and creative treasures rot in the clenched talons of rights-holders unable to monetize their properties and unwilling to make them available for free. As long as we continue to place commercial profit above cultural profit, especially when it comes to archival materials and cultural preservation, we are doomed to a future bitterly divorced from its past.

Maria Popova (b. 1983) Bulgarian-American essayist, author, critic [Мария Попова]

Mashable: Midjourney pushes to expose studios’ own AI practices in copyright fight. “Midjourney is attempting to turn the tables on the Hollywood studios suing it for copyright infringement, asking a federal judge to compel Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros.

Watch this wild ride through the legal aspects of the impact of LLM coding onto FOSS usage in commercial products containing software:

I'll give the probably engineer guy in the audience props for the most creative idea around the loss of implied patent grants.

It'll be the proverbial interesting times. Denying existence or usefulness of the LLMs won't get anyone anywhere.

Hearing all of the current thoughts in this matter sort of sounds to me like a slow convergence of the ideas of IP and patent law.

Also: Did I mention git-ai yet?
