Your takes on this are correct and don’t let anyone try to get you to think otherwise. These are not unthinkable positions.

Is this in reference to me going private? Nothing really happened, I just had a tweet that was getting too much attention. When that happens, I temporarily go private to stop it from spreading.

I think it absolutely is something artists care about, especially when that exposure is going to someone else. Someone else putting their name on something I made feels bad

It's saying to them that you don't think their labor was worth giving recognition to. People generally like it when what they do is recognized in some way, and I don't think that's just a product of the property relation.

I think plagiarism is bad for more than just its harm to the people being plagiarized as well. I think it inhibits informational flow to plagiarize, I think it’s dishonest, I think it leads to sloppy work, etc.

I mean I think all else being equal it’s bad to make people feel bad. It’s not ALWAYS bad but I see no compelling reason to think that there is some good served by plagiarism that outweighs the disrespect inherent in it, not to mention that there are lots of other ways in which it’s bad.

…trying to reconstruct their belief system so that you can understand WHY they believe that. “This person is dumb in this screenshot” is worthless if you can’t explain the conditions that led to that statement being made, which requires more specific apprehension of their overall output.

How do you become alerted to new things they say if you’re not following them? Seems more efficient to just follow them instead of constantly checking their page.
Also, studying a bad person isn’t as simple as just finding dumb things they say and calling it a day. What’s far more interesting is…

OpenAI accused deepseek of using ChatGPT in its training somehow, and while I don’t know if that’s true, it shows that these companies are in fact worried about IP. They will circumvent it when it benefits them, but they still rely on it.

But it is literally still a different image. Like if you had used that image instead of the protected one in the dataset, it would be the exact same. So in other words it isn’t strictly determined by the data like you said it was.

How do you think these companies would survive without IP? Do you think Adobe, Disney, or most tech startups can do what they do if they don’t have patent protections or own any copyright?

Many in the petit bourgeois are just trying to survive. Mom and pop shops run on very slim margins. It doesn’t change their class position; in this case, the expansion of private property rights.

My overall point is made in the video: practically, the *expansion* of copyright in this case would not fix the problem of displacement and consolidate power in the hands of bad actors. I believe training should be considered fair use (with that caveat that outputs CAN be infringement in specific

My reading of what you said is that the infringing images can be replaced with images that encode the same structure and you will get the same model out the other end. Is that a misinterpretation?

The crypto scene was never populated by artists. People who sell NFTs as an investment and AI bros who hype the tech aren’t artists, though they are the bourgeoisie. I’m talking about the PETIT bourgeois artists.

So in other words, my friend was right, it’s not about the images themselves but the structures.

Copyright is inherently in favor of large companies, the same way that private property is inherently in favor of the bourgeois. Sometimes private property will protect you (say your house is burgled) but the net effect is negative.

Even when “evenly enforced” copyright is bad. It’s bad for artists especially, who lose control of their work. The people who benefit most from IP are large corporations and petit bourgeois artists who are in a position to negotiation for their rights.

If it produces the same result without any of the original training data does that not lend support to the claim made by my friend that the specific training data isn’t that important for the weights?
