Physical property is a consequence of the laws of physics. If I have a gold coin in my hand, then you don't have that gold coin in your hand. If you want the coin then you can either trade for it or fight me, but either way only one of us can have the coin. Even a bird with a worm knows a concept of physical property.
Copyright is something that was invented relatively recently, a few hundred years ago, because of a new technology back then: the printing press. Before the printing press there was no need for copyright.
Now today we again have a new technology in neural networks, and it's entirely possible that the realities of this technology push us back in the other direction, undoing what the printing press did.
The world you describe is that which turned former communist countries in the underdeveloped entities they are today. By not respecting people’s right to own property you disincentivise them from adding value. The printing press analogy is relevant. Similar to how we made rules on how that tool can be used we now need rules in how to protect people’s creations from being taken away by force using ai. Physical property rules are not the result of “physics”. Are the result of evolving beyond the savagery of taking that which doesnt belong to you by force. If it wasnt protected by law it would be protected by the sword. I get that some people would prefer that type of living but by and large civilised humans dont.

So do you believe people should only be able to own real estate that they are currently physically occupying? By your reasoning, no one could ever own a piece of land larger than what they were currently standing or lying on. So no one could own land. So abolition of all property rights, essentially.
I'm hella down for this, but then we should also be able to walk into the OpenAI offices and inspect their source code, cause that shit won't fit in any one hand afaik.
This is incredibly naive misunderstanding of how property rights work: they are 100% a social and conceptual construct. IANAL, but I believe you are confusing property with possession.
But, yeah. I'm down: no one can own anything that isn't currently in their hand. Let's go liberate a lot of fake property that is "owned" in violation of the laws of physics!
