I think, A new chapter is about to begin. It seems that in the future, many IPs will become democratized — in other words, they will become public assets.

"Democratized" as in large corporations are free to ingest the IPs and then reinterpret and censor them before they feed their version back to us, with us never having free access to the original source?

"Democratized" in the meaning of fascistoized, right? Laws do not apply to the cartels, military, executive and secret services.

Public assets as long as you pay your monthly ChatGPT bill.

I invite you to imagine the howling that will ensue the moment some politician offers legislation requiring commercial LLM operators to publish their weights and training data.

If only there was some sort of term for fake democracy where you're actually just there to plunder resources.

This idea does not belong to me. If lawmakers and regulators allow companies to use these IPs, how can you keep ordinary people away from them? Something created by AI is regarded as if it was created from scratch by human hands. that's reality.

They aren't going to legalize, say, publishing Mario fangames or whatever. They're just going to make copyright allow AI training, because AI is what the owner class wants. That's not democratizing IP, that's just prejudicial (dis)enforcement against the creative class.

Millions of pages of fan fic based on existing IP have been written. There is a point where it doesn't really make sense trying to go after individuals especially if they make no money out of it.

If we enter a world where anyone can create a new Mario game and there are thousands of them released on the public web it would be impossible for the rights holders to do anything, and it would be a PR bad move to go after individuals doing it for fun.

“We used publicly available data” worked good enough for now. And yet OpenAI just accused China of stealing its content.
