I’m starting to get the feeling that “X is playing chess while Y is playing checkers” is an indicator species for a terrible take.
Reading the Wikipedia it seems quite unlikely, but then again maybe it’s also written by a bot.
I’m starting to get the feeling that we are both repeating ourselves, but this is not a just a side effect, it is systematic. Turning an idea into property means only capital can play the game. In effect patents do two things: Firstly they inhibits innovation, the exact opposite of what they are supposed to do, this should be ground enough to get rid of them. Second they entrench big players, big players have more money to play the patent game and so tend to win patent fights regardless of merit. So besides not achieving their so called stated goal they also have a huge negative externality. And all this before we even take patent trolls into account.
It requires capital to obtain a patent and to defend a patent, workers are inherently excluded from this proces.
It’s a legal tool that turns ideas into property. This allows capital to exercise power over it and profit through it, and on top of that inhibits innovation. So l’d say there is no use or abuse, it’s a bad legal framework that doesn’t achieve societal benefits.
I tend to be principally against patents in general, as research suggests they actually stifle innovation rather than incentivize it. But in this case I’d say ‘let them fight, and may they both lose’.
With SBF ‘no fish’ is a very likely outcome.
Here is the deal. If you give me two fish now I’ll give you four fish in a month, trust me there is no catch just fish.
On an unrelated note do you perchance know other wise investors like yourself that want to multiply there fish portfolio?
It would be a nice precedent, every time an ai fucks up the legal responsibility escalates directly to the CEO.
The CEO just really likes the taste (and especially the structure) of spit.
