ok, that's very cool. Timestamps it on the Bitcoin blockchain--nice.

i think what i'm mainly looking for is a philosophy orientation around IP/writing and how to get value/credit for work while putting into the public domain

if i were an author i would just want my work to be out there. but she's gone through a creative process and the hard work of chiseling it, so it's harder for her to let it go.

Ethics aside I think the reality of the world we live in is that everything that touches the internet will be ingested by a machine learning algorithm. I do not see any way around that.

Having your work widely distributed in a way that makes it accessible to humans means also offering it up as a sacrifice to the AI overlords to train on and regurgitate.

I would publish my work regardless of this fact knowing that in order for it to be enjoyed by others or for me to get any recognition at all I have to let go of complete sole ownership of the ideas (or at least the ability for me to defend these ownership rights over the ideas).

Or if you are looking for deeper philosophical views this covers some different libertarian ideas.

I have gone back and forth on this topic in my head.
