A very unique dynamic occurs with generative AI. LLM companies are scraping the internet for millions of works belonging to other people, photos, videos and film, forum posts, tutorials, all of this human created content meant to provide value to others in hopes of monetizing the attention, or gaining reputation from that research or creation.
But without attribution or sharing of the proceeds, we can recreate, mimic, or even pull that exact content back out of the generative models. What does that mean for AI models? What does this mean for copyright? And is the only solution in the violent hand of the state, or is there a technological or cultural solution to this technological problem?
It can be argued that Open AI has become the ultimate middleman, that never even sends its users to the content that makes its product valuable to begin with? In that sense, is OpenAi a breakthrough...or just a different kind of scam? Don't miss today's show.

"Overprotecting intellectual property is as harmful as underprotecting it. Creativity is impossible without a rich public domain. Nothing today, likely nothing since we tamed fire, is genuinely new: Culture, like science and technology, grows by accretion, each new creator building on the works of those who came before. Overprotection stifles the very creative forces it's supposed to nurture."
