A calculator is faster and cheaper and higher quality for the use cases I bind my task space to.

It's therefore misleading because they make people believe they're as general purpose as LLMs.

Setting aside the strict definition of IP, this does satisfy the philosophical motivation of IP, which is to protect people making significant capital investments.

This is not too different from drug discovery where it's extremely difficult to come up with the molecule, but relatively easy to copy it. Similarly, it's really hard to create frontier models from scratch but much easier to distill them.

This may surprise extreme altruists but there are people who genuinely care about profit motives and are only willing to make the world a better place at a price. I don't see software engineers in advertising and finance quitting their jobs en-masse to work for teach for america, doctors without borders, etc.

Also, the bulk of the cost of manufacturing a drug lives in the scientific & engineering exploration space, which we should incentivize.

Would love to learn more! What did you work on (even vertical: chemistry, medicine, materials, physics, cosmology, etc.), notable stories?

I'm not an expert, but I thought fan art that people try to monetize in some form is explicitly illegal unless it's protected by parody, and any non commercial "violations" of copyright is totally legal. Disney can't stop me from drawing Mickey in the privacy of my own house, just monetizing/getting famous off of them.

The problem isn't that people aren't aware that the scale and magnitude differences are large and significant.

It's that the space of intellectual property LAW does not handle the robust capabilities of LLMs. Legislators NEED to pass laws to reflect the new realities or else all prior case law relies on human analogies which fail in the obvious ways you alluded to.

If there was no law governing the use of death stars and mass murder, and the only legal analogy is to environmental damage, then the only crime the legal system can ascribe is mass environmental damage.

I saw an old man yesterday use a foldable for the larger screen for larger fonts. Maybe he was a hardcore tech enthusiasts, but larger screens is an important use case for many.

I think Terrance makes a great general point in general, but the specific claim is not always true: complex dynamics can arise from simple initial conditions, therefore, simple changes could resolve those complex dynamics.

Which one would you recommend for the greater Boston area?
