@KevinAFischer: This is a monumentality important development in the AI copyright battle - first precedent is set @ylecun: Japan has become a machine learning paradise. @monospace: @ylecun Being able to steal intellectual property without repercussions = paradise. You’re not supposed to say the quiet parts out loud!
@ylecun: @monospace The very essence of what constitutes intellectual "property" is defined and enforced by governments. It's also *limited* by governments.
The driving principle is to maximize the public good, not to maximize the power of content owners. Read "Free Culture" by Lawrence Lessig.
explanation
In response to the statement "Japan is a machine learning paradise" and the rebuttal "a paradise where intellectual property can be stolen": "Japan is a machine learning paradise. What is "property" is defined, enforced, and sometimes limited by the government It's not about maximizing the power of content owners.
The key point is how to positively nurture a "market culture" of continuing to produce results for the market, although the "innovation culture" is more proactive and less upper-limit relationships when the scale is small and the "family culture" becomes stronger when the scale is stable.

@yuiseki_: In the first place, I feel that it is very difficult to arouse the interest of a large number of people in a complex or complicated subject, even if it is important. The next most difficult thing is to get a large number of people to understand the issue and express their opinions. The next most difficult part is to find a point of view that many people can agree on. I think this is the order of things. ---
