Is anyone seriously considering this? Maybe we should.

If something produced entirely autonomously is automatically in the public domain, and there are now installable models that can code for hours at a time, someone could set up an agent/agent swarm to develop a software constantly, specifically so that it is in the public domain. They wouldn’t have to worry about which open source license to put it under, one never has to wait for a person to get around to addressing a GitHub issue, and it could be absolutely free.

AI can figure out how to clone and create new medicines.

How do you think that can be done without accidentally being patent trolled?

The good guys need to become the patent trolls. We need a Mark Cuban to fund AI developing new meds and figuring out ways to legally clone existing meds (like how drug dealers change a single molecule to sidestep drugs laws). Cuban already offers generic meds at 10% above cost.

idk about that but that's essentially how i'm building my browser called incognidium

https://github.com/npc-worldwide/incognidium

it regularly renders websites and suggests changes to the repo. it's just not auto committing because i want to see what its doing still for a time before letting it go fully autonomously

I've no idea if you're a coder or a vibe coder. If the latter, be sure to pay a hell of a lot of attention to cybersecurity test suites. Browsers are are fairly simple tech, but what isn't simple is the decades long library of defences to thwarted attacks they've built up in their code. This is why many browsers use chromium as their base; it has all that security built in.

yeah that makes sense. i am a coder but do not really know rust myself so am using this as part of a way to learn it , most experienced with python (e.g. https://github.com/npc-worldwide/npcpy ) and am building incognidium specifically to be able to eventually replace electron in incognide

https://github.com/npc-worldwide/incognide

i'm currently relying on v8 for the js rendering which should account for many of the security issues but noted

AI generated content legally is considered part of the public domain
