That IP can be owned is only due to laws that say it can be, or it is kept a secret. What happens when the effort to make software to solve a specific problem becomes trivial, and the model of ownership is based on made up agreements? Do the ones who hold all the data to train the algorithms, who have access to large scale computing resources hold all the value?

the IP itself isn’t a problem

the problem is that you are forced to sign off your work to corporations else you can’t feed your family, because they’ll find somebody else who is desperate enough and will sign it

the only solution is unionizing and voting against IP transfer between individual and corporation
