There we are. A real-world impact to the technology we, as technologists, develop and speak/preach/mandate too-little IMO about how it should be used.

Has anyone done an employee-coöperative tech start-up?

i'd love to join a cooperative myself. there exist a number of them. they mostly seem to do outsourcing/contract work. i suspect that they don't attract investors because the profit distribution would be different from the usual start-ups.

Which countries legally protect one's likeness as one's IP? (Are you allowed to transfer it in them?)

Likeness as IP is a bad framework. Nonetheless, that appears to be the dominant approach. Wikipedia has a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights

You thinking this is an epiphany makes me feel you severely overlook the impact AI already has on the world, affecting everyone. This seems very minor in comparison.

I got a human taste of this in open source a few times: someone would suggest we use project Y rather than building it ourselves. I look at project Y and it's someone trying to make a business out of my FOSS code.

This is getting worse with AI, as things move too fast for anyone to verify, and AI is getting better at washing things.

What are you going to do when someone takes your thing with AI and then you're asked to prove it's yours, disputing their mountain of AI generated evidence? The legal system is not prepared to handle what's coming.
