"Paid collaboration" my ass. More like, let me pay you a pittance and sell your knowledge for 100x.

A LinkedIn message saying "Hello Brian. This is a paid collaboration. We acquire private, non-open-source legacy code repositories with full commit history and PRs from running or closed projects for AI development. NDA & compliance ensured."

Yes. Except without attribution or record of provenance, and we get to charge you and everyone else arbitrarily for access! Are you excited now?

    Lol it turns out that because AI is only good at regurgitating stuff that you put in all scrambled up, it's also an incredible legally-distinct copying machine.

    So stay awhile, and they'll listen. They'll dream about your ideas, and then make something from them tomorrow and claim them as theirs. And if you're lucky, your job to do stuff will eventually be industrially cookie cuttered out of existence. Let's see how many lives jobs we can eliminate make easier! You won't even need to work (at anywhere that pays well or is creative) since we target the industries that are interesting and important to you, first! After we own revolutionize all of the means of production in those, you can and everything will be better!
