What's weird is how policy experts & economists fail to see the consequnces of having WIP stolen by AI corporations in its early stages.
1. Fewer papers & books published
2. Less collaboration in academia
3. Work slowed as folks work in isolation
4. The system of public funding ends
5. People withhold ideas & innovation
6. USSR style stagnation
7. Corporations become so wealthy they own all
Work in Progress dies out
