Irrelevant, patents must still be novel. The kerfuffle about "first to
invent" and the idea that it was better for "small inventors" was a
storm in a teacup, but probably overall a reform; it made fraudulent
claims of "Prior IP Ownership" harder, so someone couldn't falsify a
notebook with John's idea and file a patent by claiming to have
invented it first.

If something has been publicly disclosed in a reasonably public medium
prior to someone else filing a patent, then that invalidates that
patent's novelty; in effect, it is evidently not a unique or novel
idea, and is therefore ineligible for a patent. In a slightly saner
world (that nevertheless allows idea ownership), that alone would be
grounds to nullify a patent, and according to the text of most
countries' laws, it is. In reality, they blast expensive lawyers at
you from a cannon until you die of poverty, and then continue shaking
people down for rent with their "invention".
