Everyone in the world has their own infinite factory, and it works by itself to produce whatever they want. The only thing they don't have is someone to design a product the factory can make, which something had and time consuming to do. But whenever someone makes a design, everyone everywhere automatically has that design, for free. So, how do we get people to make those designs in the first place? Few are going to pay someone to make a design, because there's little way of knowing if it's any good before it's finished. Few are going to pay for a good design after it's finished, because they already have it for free.
A paradox then, how is it solved?-

I would just design a factory that generates artificial intelligence which designs top-notch designs automatically (designs that include self improvement). It's so well designed that the technology generated from these automatic processes will roughly double every 6 months to a year in terms of speed, efficiency, and costs. Within a few years it reaches singularity AND OMG WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE.

I think this is flawed. 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration. You can have all the good ideas in the world, but it takes work to see the product. I understand what you're saying, if it pertains to copyright law, but otherwise I would have to disagree. Workers are supposed to own the rights of production. Anyone can own the rights to inception :)

Many designers would work purely for the joy of it. Other designers with a proven track record might be in it for the celebrity and the associated social favors that would bring from people who want to be around fame. I think you would also have exchanges of personalized artistic works (paintings, songs, films, etc.) or personal favors (control of another person's time would be invaluable) for the promise of a more practical design to address a personal need or desire (a necessary drug for a condition you have, a well-trained animal, maybe you just want a bigger TV).

design obfuscated devices that kill people closeby when they are assembled but look like they do something else and are decribed as doing something else and don't build any; other people will build them and kill themselves thus eliminating competition and making people more wary about building shit they dont understand.
