It would have to happen through donations to people already working on this stuff on a volunteer basis, not normal contract work. As the whole thing is based on IP theft anyway it would be a terrible idea to hire people for it in a normal way.

Rant: People these days are largely illiterate about IP laws, unfortunately.

It's only copyright violation if the law says it is. There are plenty of exceptions already.

Also: Theft in all laws I know requires depriving "someone" of the original. ie. photocopying a page isn't theft, but it may or may not be copyright infringement depending on local laws.

Copyright is a legal construct and not a natural right: nowadays it heavily favours large copyright holders (eg. Music labels, Disney) and their law firms to the disadvantage of the average joe. US Inc has forced their own IP laws upon the world, and IMHO the world would be much better with significantly shorter copyright terms, and much narrower patent categories.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
