Wait, wouldn't it make sense for an anarchist to opposite intellectual property law on the grounds that the only way you could possibly enforce it beyond those in one's immediate community would be with a larger state and associated law enforcement apparatus, which an anarchist would be expected to be against the existence of?
I'm not sure that has much to do with AI, and if anything, AI companies should somewhat like copyright since what they are ultimately selling is a form of software, which is harder to profit off without such law. They just want the concept to apply selectively so as not to impede them.
In an actual anarchistic society, we wouldn't need copyright. But we live in capitalism. Stuff like copyright is needed until property itself no longer needs to exist. I'm all for changing the world toward anarchism, but I am not naive enough to believe for a second you can do it all at once without a major cataclysmic event and taking away the few things that at least attempt to make things fair within the current system is monumentally stupid.
Yeah
