If it's actually 'laundering' then it's invalid to begin with.

If it's a proper new thing then how do rich people get an advantage? If anything AI code is cheap enough to even things out.

> Yep, that's why I said we should only concern ourselves with those which are internally consistent. If people want to apply rules to others which they don't intend to or cannot follow themselves, they lose the right to be taken seriously.

I think a lot of those people are consistent! The issue is they have way too little respect for the public domain and are overprioritizing property against freedom.
