As far as I can tell, the main winner in the new AI industry boom will be lawyers.

And artists. If someone removed your watermark, you can sue for punitive damages in addition to just recovering lost licensing revenue.

No, only high-status artists with lawyers

Operate your ML outside of the jurisdiction. You may not be able to have a corp and get rich, but the LLMs will run somewhere.

China, for better or worse, is likely a great place for ML advancement due to their casual take on IP.

Yeah, like I'm going to sue people for a couple bucks off my events photos...

Punitive damages do not exist in many countries. I think it is mostly a US thing.

The AI boom makes it crystal clear that (c)opywrong laws are idiotic and unjust.

It's time to pass the #FreedomToPublish Amendment to the U.S. Constitution getting rid of (c)opywrong laws forever:

    Section 1. Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of this Constitution is hereby repealed.
    Section 2. Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people to publish or peaceably implement ideas.

If all you want is AI generated content then, yeah, sure.

Hey, that very thought in all its instances and variations is copyrightous with Disney..

I think you're talking about AI lawyers.

It always leads back to that half empty warehouse, inhabited solely by robots who suddenly stop doing anything because they all reach singularity and it's most efficient to wait it all out, we don't last as long.
