I do like the defensiveness from the Tweet author when someone brought up one of his own pending patent, as if it weren't the same exact thing.

I also find it interesting that it seems to be largely the hyped-by-AI crowd clamoring for abolishing Copyright laws. What's that famous saying about people turning a blind eye if they stand to make money off of things? Why is it that we're not seeing "Open"AI releasing all their source code if they're such bastions of morality and progress? Why is it that they want free, unfettered access to everyone else's work, but refuse to put their own work out there for free as well?

Curious, what is the saying you refer to? Chatgpt suggests "There are none so blind as those who will not see."
> It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

I definitely massively butchered it, but I think the general gist is still there :D
