Pointing out illiberal and anti-human rhetoric and myth-busting AI hype is important. But humanist rhetoric around AI is also weaponized, and digging into politicians and corporations that use it to defend the status quo is crucial, writes @mmblaszczyk.bsky.social.

Anyway – hope this was helpful. Good luck & thanks for reading.

In many European jurisdictions, while there may be no "work for hire," the law nonetheless implies a transfer of copyright from the employee to the employer into the employment agreement. E.g., Spain. Netherlands go even further. E.g., in software, the EU directive allocates rights to the employer.

Regarding Europe, unfortunately, the story is not quite as simple or romantic as you think. For a short overview, see, e.g., pp. 576-79 here: cardozoaelj.com/wp-content/u.... See also pages attached below.

Trevor – congratulations. I don't know your story but let's put it like this: sometimes you may even sue a big corporation for breach of contract and win. Doesn't mean the system is geared towards that outcome.

Już w 1895 r. Bronisław Łoziński rozpatrywał możliwość przyznania praw zwierzętom pozaludzkim. Z pozycji konserwatywnych i chrześcijańskich odrzucił jednak tę możliwość, choć podkreślał konieczność ochrony. Link do mojego artykułu na ten temat: www.academia.edu/126148095/O_...
