We already have laws that cover this, use them.

Anyone who is impressed by the function or output of a LLM, to a level they believe it’s in any way adjacent to intelligence, must be quarantined from the decision making processes that affect anyone not similarly cognitively impaired.

It’s embarrassing that our elected officials believe this shit is special.

    No, granting exclusivity over an idea incentivises individualistic and sociopathic behaviour.

    Replacing the current regime with a mechanism that rewards spreading the knowledge and comprehension of information and ideas better aligns with their intrinsic nature.

    Rigorously testing and refining knowledge should be the primary goal of creative and intellectual work, with financial compensation and remuneration an indirect subservient system.

    All patents are bad, intellectual property is one of the most harmful and corrosive constructs of the modern world.

    Ownership of intrinsically infinite resources needs to cease being normalised, and replaced with attribution.

    Advertising is the most prolific form of environmental pollution wrought by commerce.

    It needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking, and every instance of it must be exhaustively scrutinised and required to be justified.

    I’m not saying we should merely ‘tax the rich’, I’m arguing the rich should be eliminated through taxation. It’s also merely an opening salvo of what needs to be done to correct the debased social structures we currently inhabit, which I consider your suggestion to be complementary and compounding to mine. They’re both necessary, but individually they’re insufficient.
