scintilla

Me and my wife still haven’t unpacked fully from moving. We just signed our first lease renewal and will have been living here a year in November.

Your large paragraph has so many fallacies I genuinely don’t think you’re being serious.

Also go fuck yourself my rights are literally being stripped away so that corporations can own the government more.

I still can’t believe ancaps are real lmao. It’s the most obviously flawed ideology o have ever seen.

Just look outside and see that this but worse is a terrible idea.

I appreciate people like you. Makes finding people to block so much easier when all I have to do is scroll to verify instead of engage in a conversation then find out that they are not worth talking to half way through.

I think the AI bubble is really close to poping. If they can’t make a profit on it in the next 2 years (maybe sooner with how badly the economy is about to start doing) VC money will dry up and then they will have to up prices dramatically.

There’s a lot of factors I could get into but it seems like they are going to have to start pricing AI use at the very least cost soon.

They can even scrape likes/dislikes and make profiles for people that don’t comment.

Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.

So what should be done so that authors and inventors are fairly compensated under our current economic system? I am not in support of capitalism to be clear but we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future and I don’t want small authors to have large companies just steal their books and reprint them.

IP is important in the current capitalist world. In an ideal world I absolutely think IP would be abolished but without it there would be no way for a small company to make something and not have it stolen out from under them by a mega corp.

I do not think current IP law is perfect or even very good now but under capitalism it is something that is necessary. Even in open source it matters because without it all the licenses in the world would not matter.
