  • This! Patent, trademarks, copyrights, all those intellectual properties laws were created more than a century ago, a time very different from us, with no corporations capable of pushing hundreds if not thousands of patents per year.

    Those laws are so outdated that they are played to the inverse of what they were supposed to do. They were created to protect the inventor to make sure he can win money on his invention, today they are used to protect big corporation to make sure they can buy or kill whoever who would risk attacking their revenue.

    They were invented as a way to push creativity and protect it but they are used today to limit and block creativity. There’s a good reason why creativity in technology in the last 10 years has come more from open source movements (additive manufacturing, blockchain, machine learning, etc.). It’s the only way to still protect creativity, making it open, therefore non patentable.




  • GPT-4 is quite willing to help you create the constitution for your own country, well I guess I have to find a name now:

    Certainly! Crafting a constitution for a new country is an exciting and monumental task. The constitution is the core document that dictates the legal obligations and rights of your country’s government and its citizens. Here’s a very basic outline to get us started. Please remember, this is a rudimentary draft and it will need to be adjusted based on the specific needs, culture, history, and goals of your country:


    PREAMBLE

    We, the people of [Your Country’s Name], in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for [Your Country’s Name].

    ARTICLE I: THE LEGISLATURE

    Section 1: All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a [name of your legislative body].

    Section 2: [Details on how members are elected, their terms, qualifications, powers and responsibilities]

    Section 3: [Details on how legislation is passed, veto powers, etc.]

    ARTICLE II: THE EXECUTIVE

    Section 1: The executive power shall be vested in a [title of your head of state].

    Section 2: [Details on how the head of state is elected, their term, qualifications, powers and responsibilities]

    Section 3: [Details on how the executive branch operates, and other positions within the executive branch]

    ARTICLE III: THE JUDICIARY

    Section 1: The judicial power of [Your Country’s Name] shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the [Legislative body] may from time to time ordain and establish.

    Section 2: [Details on how judges are appointed, their terms, qualifications, powers and responsibilities]

    ARTICLE IV: THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE

    Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in [Your Country’s Name] are citizens of [Your Country’s Name] and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens.

    Section 2: [Further details on the rights, freedoms, and responsibilities of the citizens, these could include things like freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to a fair trial, etc.]

    ARTICLE V: AMENDMENTS

    Section 1: The [Legislative body] whenever two thirds of both Houses deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments…

    ARTICLE VI: GENERAL PROVISIONS

    Section 1: [Any other items that need to be addressed, such as the official language, the national religion (or lack thereof), the national emblem, the process for international treaties, etc.]

    ARTICLE VII: RATIFICATION

    This Constitution shall be considered ratified when agreed upon by a majority of citizens through a free and fair vote.


    Please remember that a constitution is a living document that will grow and change over time as your country evolves. This outline is just a starting point and may not include all the specific sections you need. For example, you might want to add sections addressing human rights, environmental protection, financial regulations, and so on.

    This process should involve broad input from many different stakeholders, including legal experts, and should be reflective of the country’s culture, values, history, and aspirations for the future. Also, please note that the effective implementation of a constitution requires a strong rule of law and mechanisms for holding those in power accountable.
