Software Patents by Any Other Name
There is no such thing as "AI" patents
8 years ago, before the "HEY HI" hype/frenzy/bubble-building, we had already observed the EPO talking about "4IR", "IoT", "blockchain", and all sorts of other fashionable nonsense! Here's one: "Talking about a new revolution: blockchain – Conference report"
It was a "new revolution". Where is it now?
Software patents promoted by people with zero background in (or knowledge of) computing:
That's from page 13. Corrupt officials, cokeheads, and gremlins who call themselves "operational director in ICT" (despite having zero knowledge or qualifications in ICT) are pushing illegal agenda by riding buzzwords, such as "blockchain" (at the time).
Now they do the same with "HEY HI" (LLMs falsely marketed as "intelligence"), so be very cautious. Be sceptical of "the Mafia" [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].
We've just caught the "HEY HI" agenda being used to usher in more software patents into Mexico [1]. Software patents aren't legal or in any way ratified. As our reader iophk put it last night: LLMs certainly hide a lot of crap. So do trade agreements, especially illegal secret trade negotiations. As noted in our latest daily links, after the attacks on PTAB (by a Cheeto appointee) there are efforts to bring back software patents to their "past glory" in the US. █
