intellectual property doesn't really exist in most of the world. they don't give a shit about it in india, bangladesh, vietnam, china, the philippines, malaysia, singapore...

it's arbitrary law that is designed to protect corporations and it's generally unenforceable.

it’s arbitrary law that is designed to protect corporations and it’s generally unenforceable.

It's arbitrary, but it was designed to protect individuals, but it has been morphed to protect corporations. If we reset the law back to the original copyright act of 1790 w/ a 14-year duration, it would go a long way toward removing power from corporations. I think we should take it a step further and perhaps make it 10 years, with an optional extension for another 10 years if you can show need (i.e. you're an indie dev and your game is finally making a splash after 8 years).

So true. IP only helps the corps and slows tech development. Contracts, ndas, and trade secrets are all you really need to keep your ideas safe. If you want your country to develop fast, get rid of any IP laws.

Unless it's their intellectual property, whereupon it's suddenly a whole different story. I'm sure you knew that.

But they're not developing AI in those countries they're developing it mostly in the US. In the US copyright law is enforced.

There are many AI development happening in China. Doubao (from Bytedance, the same company behind TikTok), DeepSeek and Qwen are some examples of Chinese LLMs.

India only has openhathi, dhenu, bhashini, krutrim and like a dozen other LLM so I cannot see how you could think they aren't developing AI. This is a wildly wrong claim lol
