What does a post intellectual property world even look like, though? I'm not aware of any convincing frameworks that our existing society could merge into.
It looks like Github! People sharing and collaborating to build new things. No lawyers getting in the way. Attribution is automatically handled by git logs.
It's glorious.
That's not to say that every facet of IP law is good, or even a judgement on it. Just pointing out that only parts of Github work like you describe.
I do not think this is true.
I think most devs on GitHub operate as if there are no IP laws.
I think if they went away, almost nothing would change (some noise around "license" fields would go away).
Anyway if that goes away. A lot of innovation will too. If privately owned LLMs go on consuming everything, not giving back to the communities that make them what they are. It may erode the system.

I agree it's an absolute daunting task, convincing people this is the way. This new freedom will not be given to people by the powers that be, they must demand it.
But I do believe that a small group of people can change the world. It's just about getting that initial group going, and sparking a flame.
