Lol um no everyone benefits from copyrights and IP. If were being flippant how about people just steal your private code and monetize it!? Copyright makes the creative world turn.
Yeah, I'm fine with copyright existing even though it's messy. That said, if you put your copyright image on a public site with no watermark and Google Images shows it, skill issue.
Id encourage those tired of AI news to instead take on an active role in shaping where AI goes by getting directly involved. Yelling at the sky changes nothing - there's very little in tech that isn't affected, changing, improved for better or worse by AI so sitting on the sidelines is a great way to get left out of the conversation completely.
Wrong framing. I think it's more that universities are waking up to the markets' value correction for their product, about a decade too late. They nerfed the product into something of low value and are just becoming aware.
It's the employment market waking up to the lack of value of the universities' credentialing. The universities themselves don't have a competitive market to speak of, because their customers are so heavily subsidized† that their income is still rising, despite the drop in value of their services.
The universities themselves may react to market demand, if subsidies for their services decline, but it's also possible for subsidies to increase, despite the lack of value, as is often the case for a declining industry with a significant political presence.
† Student loans may be repayed by the recipient, but they are not granted based on the market value of the loan, so they act as much like a subsidy as student loans paid by third parties.
Nothing discussed is addressing the true value of a university degree to those who are often the ones paying, i.e. wealthy parents. Universities provide those parents a socially acceptable strategy to get their pothead gamer sons out of their too-comfortable basement, and keep their silly daughters from getting pregnant by that cute lower-class clerk at the local WaWa. With a general bump in overall status for the family to boot. For those parents, universities are still a great value proposition.
Are there any other worker or creator protections you'd like to dismantle because they're also too inconvenient for you and your narrow worldview? Does the author have any semblance of sense or do they yell at the sky for hours on end every day about things they barely understand? List the benefits of copyright first and then we'll trust you can form a balanced take and are not just spewing a half-baked opinion.
