Extremely personally,
(A)
Intellectual property,
especially patents and content like blogs,
and the sharing-economy businesses,
especially shared cars and used-goods trading,
- I think these should be free.
(B)
Just as roads and public transportation are,
just as the accessibility of the internet is,
improving accessibility to these things has, beyond mere productivity,
- I see, made it possible to create innovative results.
Intellectual property and the (A) items above are, in fact, the part that corresponds to wisdom.
The (B) items are the part that creates exponential ripple effects, that is, sharing and popularization.
- This is also the part that allowed Sapiens, who arrived comparatively late, to surpass other human species.
Looking at the words of the Bible, the teachings of the Buddha, the Agora where free citizens of the ancient Greek city-states (polis) freely held discussions, the opening of the Western Regions during China's Han dynasty and its center Chang'an (長安), there were periods that developed at breakneck speed by sharing each other's wisdom.
Unlike Edison, Tesla openly shared innovative inventions and countless ideas in the field of electrical engineering. For example, through his research on wireless power transmission, Tesla sought to contribute to the advancement of humanity (such as innovating ways to supply energy worldwide) rather than commercial gain, and that's why humanity at that time was able to create immeasurable derivative results.
In the end, the culture of sharing made the human (Sapiens). And the new intangible mode (or ideology) called neoliberalism that humans created seems, on the contrary, to be limiting humans' own expansion (evolution or growth).
Commodifying even 'wisdom' is truly bitter.
Commodifying things like 'reuse-and-share' or 'carpooling' is also truly bitter.
Among these, one of the closest examples is the '3D printer.' This technology is, in fact, a patent that took effect in the 1980s. As, one by one in the 2000s, those patents reached the 20-year term and the recognition expired, anyone could now use 3D printing technology for free, and through this innovative advances are being made in fields like architecture and medicine. And on top of that, the situation is similar with 'gene-editing technology,' as well as solar, wind, and other 'clean energy technology'-related fields - they have remained tied up for a long time, even though the global environment is deteriorating this rapidly.
Just as deer antlers came to over-evolve, the over-competition driven by neoliberalism deepens the inequality of information (wisdom) intentionally for the sake of comparative advantage. Because of this, ironically, it is being warped into a form like an economic class society - resembling totalitarianism (a class society) rather than democracy. My personal view is that excessive pursuit of profit ultimately hinders innovation.
In IT too, modern open-access models continue to be shared. The same is true in the AI field. Often the model gets absorbed by a large company, but still, thanks to nameless people, the line continues steadily.
Even if it's not as grand as 3D printers, gene editing, or clean-energy technology.. even the blog posts that individuals have experienced in their daily lives (which can sometimes be of more practical help) are being competitively expanded as means of making money. Moreover, whenever I see people who, instead of sharing wisdom they actually experienced, re-edit content they learned for free from external blogs or YouTube and re-produce it in paid form or as a revenue model, I feel a personal pang. What's more, lately when I see bloggers who 'produce' content as a revenue model that even uses 'AI to generate mechanical content' automatically and then collect ad-based pocket money through such postings.. I hope these will gradually decrease, even little by little.
That's why I don't put ads or copy-protection on my blog posts. Even though they're not worth even the value of a single sheet of paper, I hope a culture that values sharing and accessibility spreads further..This is a humble will to contribute? - or rather to obstruct - even by a single speck of dust.
PS. There was even an auto-comment-generating AI..
So AI auto-generates comments too.. how diligent..
What's even more remarkable is that 티스토리 (Tistory) AI? automatically validates the comments. Yikes. Is this what adversarial AI is..?
Just looking at the comments alone, you can tell that AI is producing blog posts at fairly high quality. If it weren't for Tistory blocking, anyone could visit, so I'm putting the link to that blog here.

Probably, in Tistory's exposure algorithm, there is some part where you have to leave comments on similar content for your own content to receive a search-weighting boost.. (Is it that they don't fix things like this because they don't know.. or that they know but deliberately don't fix it to inflate the count.. either way, it's awkward.. I've been using Tistory for over 10 years, and lately, with app updates and various other things, I've been disappointed in many ways.)
Maybe there aren't many similar posts yet, because they keep posting the same comment over and over on the same article. Maybe they're following along with some auto-generated-revenue-creation YouTube video or online course.. it seems they haven't yet added a feature to prevent flooding the same article with the same comment..
By the way, the model used for the auto-generation seems to be a slightly older one.. it probably targeted only the title 'Content Revenue Models' or 'AI-driven auto-generation,' or it crawled by catching keywords in the body text.. it ambiguously seems to have picked this post by keyword rather than by context..
In a place where I'm writing about the bitterness and regret regarding 'content revenue models' or 'AI-driven auto-generation,' as if it were a prepared example.. it brashly came in and posted comments.. and even floodingly.. people say bad guys are more diligent, and indeed it's diligent in many ways - hand-in-hand with AI.

How to Delete Macro Comments and Block IPs on a Tistory Blog?
At first I didn't know there were so many macro comments on Tistory.. I'm not a macro - I just want to communicate with people who are studying! A comment saying 'great post' was attached less than 1 second after I wrote the post-
