I can’t help but notice the parallels between my generation of techies thinking copyright was bad when it came to music, movies and apps which should all be free and today’s techies who feel that way about IP used to train LLMs.
What changed is that streaming and ad supported apps became more convenient than piracy.
I wonder if there’s a similar analog to say cloning an actor’s voice being more convenient to do while respecting copyright versus illicitly.
