This viewpoint is about as coherent as "every image file is copyright infringing because every pixel in it exists somewhere in some other image somewhere".

Derivative works, when substantially changed, are not infringing. If I take an image of the Mona Lisa and rearrange all its pixels so it looks like a picture of a cat, that's not infringement.

If I sample lines and curves and colors and styles from several images and make something new, that's not infringement.

The actual problem with image models is that they can sometimes be coaxed into outputting images that are quite similar to an image they were trained on. That constitutes infringement.
This is absurd. If it wasn't a car but some other product, would cities still sue the manufacturer?

Creative works are incompatible with capitalism. We’ve create a thin finicky interface between them with copyright laws, but it hardly works. I’m not saying artists and creators shouldn’t have financial security in this system, quite the opposite. I don’t have a better idea, but I hope we can come up with something that doesn’t conflate ownership with attribution and also protects the livelihood of people who want to share their creations.
(1) it's not been tested in courts, so it might not be legal

(2) the likely argument from the government would be that open backwards are but subject to the same expectation of privacy as other interior parts of the home. If the cops have a helicopter surveiling your back yard no one says that it's a warrantless search. Why is a drone different?

The obvious answer there is levels of scale, but it's an open question if that will hold up to actual legal challenges
> You don't get wealthy by giving someone else 1% of AUM for performing on-par with a passive investment in index funds you could self-manage.

This is how advisors are typically paid, but this isn't all that they do. Empirically, as people make more money, they turn more to advisors and away from self-directed or robo apps.

Lots of people have opined on why, if you follow the trade publications for advisors. To me, the reasoning comes down to risk: if you have a lot at stake then you will pay money for a lawyer to review for $$$$ per hour. If you have a lot of money you will pay 1% if you can feel more comfortable that the advisor is handling all the aspects of it and you can sleep better at night.

My problem with this is that artists learn by studying other artists, cutting that off because it's AI rather than focusing on whether the resulting work is derivative, seems more of a problem to me. It seems to me that an AI can be used for either original work or derivatives, proving that you can get derivatives out of it has always struck me as no different than commissioning a copy of someone's work from a human artist and being shocked that you got what you asked for.
> This would, I think, require the AI’s creator to secure a license for all of its sources that allows this sort of transformation and presentation

That is a fairly illogical leap. From your text alone, “should not be allowed to disregard the copyright of its source material” would be: “the AI’s maintainer should have a fairly reliable (but not infallible) system to output how likely it generated something that is a direct derivative work of something in its dataset”. As a human you don’t need to attribute/license every piece of art you’ve seen of clouds if you draw a cloud. So if an AI draws a cloud that is actually derivative of the millions of clouds it has seen, then it doesn’t need any permission from the millions of creators to draw one either.

This falls apart when you start getting into things like control net and posing, or iterative erasing, reprompting, and in/outfilling. It starts feeling more like some weird combination of 3d modeling, photoshop, and a really advanced autofill.
> I tend to think the important part is the end product: was someone able to express their vision to the highest possible level of fidelity? In that regard, every new technology gets us closer-- the person who couldn't draw a circle can take a photo and doctor it in the GIMP until he's happy. The next frontier for this is to say "I can use AI to generate 200 permutations, and then take the ones I like best and further hack on them to get what I want."

I don't think effort should be arbitrarily constrained to make the bar high, but I do not agree with you that the end product is important.

What is important is that the product comes from people because art helps society be healthier by existing as a means of communication from people to other people. Once AI begins to take over part of the process, it becomes like athletes who dope...it removes the essence of their achievement.

Art is more than just a single, isolated product for consumption. It exists to inspire, to change minds based on its ORIGINS, not just on its end results.

The problem with your argument is that you are ignoring the sociological effects of artistic creation, and focusing on the act of maximizing along a SINGLE variable: aesthetic value. That does art a disservice, and it means that the argument for or against AI must also be more subtle.

Besides, isn't the strategy of releasing AI just to see what happens a bit haphazard?
Is it an either-or thing? The Nature link I responded to above proposes that human ancestors were coastal dwellers for a few 10's of thousands of years to survive a climate catastrophe. How long would it take for this to start shaping physiology and behavior? This isn't my area of expertise, it's more fanciful fascination than opinion.

I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t do that, then.
Photoshop doesn’t install with a massive directory of other people’s copyrighted works to draw snippets from.
I don’t think it makes sense for both model builders and the model’s users to separately obtain licenses for the same works used in the training set.

A model trained on several copyrighted data sources cannot somehow be used in a way depending on a subset of those sources.

So all parameters of usage and compensation should be settled by contract between the model builder and copyrighted data supplier, before the copyrighted material is used.

Or to put it simply: using copyrighted material to create a model would NOT be considered fair use.

That’s it. That’s the standard. No complicated new laws required.

Model builders obtain permission to use copyrighted material from copyright holders based on any terms both agree to.

Terms might involve model usage limits, term limits, one time compensation, per use compensation, data source credits, or anything else either party wants.

The likely result will be some standard sets of terms becoming popular and well known. But nobody has to agree to anything they don’t want to.
Most people have a price. How can you say there's a limited number of people willing to do that job?
I used words very carefully. It depends on the level of human authorship.

If you use a tool to correct some pixels thats directed by a human closely, no thats not a problem.

If you remove large parts of the image with the ai erase fill, then you've given up authorship of those parts of the image. You could then go in and author changes to the work that you could further add to your copyright. But you would never change the copyright status of the stuff authored by a machine.

You're using 'Photoshop' on a naive level without looking at the most important element - how much authorship is the human having. You can basically 'hand paint' a picture in photoshop, or you can use the ai tools and have almost no authorship.

Photoshop is a program not a method.

My opinion as a SWE who is dating a lawyer (joke, not a serious qualification but it does provide some insight):

Generative models traverse and interpolate high dimensional state spaces. These state spaces are created from input data.

I would argue people do the exact same thing - the first main difference is we can use novel inputs (e.g. we can use images or words to develop our music/temporal state spaces and vice versa). People also are recursive and self referential in a way that doesn't collapse.

Until we solve the interpretability problem (e.g. can you decode the feature space of a neural network into something we can comprehend) there is no good solution. Either traditional copyright wins and we get even more draconian policies (think Disney and their desire to never put anything in the public domain), or we have a free for all (which I don't think is bad for creative works, but certainly for more practical things like stock photos or nonfiction).

Current education is a ranking signal to see if we should continue investing in a student. Adding LLMs into things reduces the clarity of that signal, because the purpose is not to assess the quality of the students work, but the capabilities of the students.

This is a false narrative, it's literally just not implemented.

>Buy a DP to HDMI active converter and stay open, or else accept the proprietary software into your stack. If that is not possible, look elsewhere for your software, GPL is not for you.

This is just so... user hostile. The paid amd developers can't get around to finishing their drivers so use a proprietary dongle with closed source everything in between your screen and your computer, and if I don't accept this "GPL" isn't for me. Lol.. just.. no.
Consider that sea levels have changed considerably over the past ~5 million years, over which the Aquatic Ape (Hardy/Morgan) hypothesis might have occurred, and might be anywhere from 100 metres blelow current levels (putting fossils underwater at present) to 300 metres above.

Plus all the other usual challenges to fossil preservation.

That record is quite probably far more partial than appreciated.

It can impose limits for the First.

This particular attempt to do so was found to be unconstitutional because the details of the limits it imposed were, according to the court, much too broad.

Generally to impose limits on a Constitutional right there has to be some legitimate compelling state interest to justify it and the limits have to be narrowly tailored to avoid limiting the right more than is necessary for that.

More details in the court's decision, which is linked to in the article. The court goes into great detail to explain what is allowed and how the Texas law goes beyond that.
Why would copyrightability of AI generated work affect its profitability? Owning a copyright gives you the exclusive right to copy and sell a work. If no one owns the copyright for a work, no one has the _exclusive_ right to copy and sell that work.

My thoughts are along similar lines: People learn to think, to inquire, to persuade, etc. We don't know precisely how. Maybe it's correlated to education, but even the strength of a causal link is debatable.

I certainly don't oppose reforming contemporary education, but at the same time, letting it be replaced by something else by default because that thing has exponentially more engagement power invokes Chesterton's Fence. I'm not sure we even know what we're giving up.

Fixed point: pretty sure that would not work, I recall the numbers ran over many orders of magnitude. I did waste a ton of time back then looking at whether things like interval arithmetic would help. And double precision was - as I recall - enough to avoid precision problems in the results, it was just unsatisfying because we didn't really have the memory for it.

"is the magnitude of the numbers such that this would be impractical..." is maybe the wrong way to look at our problem. Doubling memory to use double precision was an inconvenience, we were trying to squeeze out results with the hardware we had. The elephant in the room was the size of the matrix. Increasing the number of shells in the model - necessary to model heavier nuclei - massively expanded the size of the matrix, and needed a generation for the kind of computer a small research grant can afford to be capable of doing the next set of nuclei. And then it'll be another generation or two before the next set again.

And you can ask, but it's a lifetime ago, it's like asking if Napoleon could in some way have avoided defeat at Waterloo - just idle speculation on my part now. I have to laugh at the question in one of the other replies if this had been converted to run on GPU, man, those were 20 years away and some of the machines I coded for didn't have an FPU.

Biggest issue is the first one. Dataset copyrights are where most of the fight b/w regulators, AI companies & artists is happening.

Should you be able to train your model on an image or text someone uploaded on the internet without buying the copyright? If no, then most of current LLMs & stable diffusion models will have to go & I don't see big tech allowing it.

Thank you, it basically boils down to this.

I'm baffled at how someone in their right mind still argues as if using any other tool is free of copyright infringement of some kind.

It also boggles my mind how, in our line of work (which is often artistic in its own right), a lot of people make preconceptions on how art is made. Often reducing it to nothing but transformative generation. Such takes are deeply narcissistic, and downright wrong. At this point I'm led to believe they're AI generated.

It is possible to be involved in something for various reasons, but it does not mean that one should willingly forego a benefit. "In it for the money" implies that the primary motivation is high pay, whereas "not in it for the money" indicates a strong preference for the type of work and a willingness to accept lower pay if market rates were to decrease.
Who do you think should hold the copyright on the model weights, the copyright holders of the individual works comprising the dataset or the ones who assembled the dataset?
The adjusted R^2 is not what indicates the quality of a result, but rather the p-value...R^2 indicates an effect size, whereas p-value indicates significance. A small R^2 just means there are other things that should be in the model.
The tech is still rapidly evolving though—I'm not sure it's realistic to expect standardisation here for a while.

Manufacturers are experimenting with form factors, perf-to-weight ratios, noise levels, weatherproofing, connectivity features, anti-theft mechanisms, ABS, etc.

Battery connectivity and charging is where I'd personally like to see more standardisation—even if there are obvious form factor challenges. Standardisation here could drive costs down, which would benefit the entire market.
Maybe the EU should start leaning in this area.

If it creates a pervasive atmosphere of fear that results in physical violence or calls people to violence directly or indirectly, then I'd say speech can be violent. I disagree with free-speech absolutism that pretends speech is simultaneously capable of moving the world and also either not an action or an action that cannot be violent.
Ultimately a potential problem lies further downstream in the reduction of creation of original work and knowledge.

If you become an expert in performing via LLM, the LLM capabilities and underlying data represent the limits of knowledge creation.

To your point about calculators and open-book exams, part of the challenge is for educators to rethink learning objectives and assessments in terms of outcomes that are outside the scope of LLMs.

I agree, they are perfect for language learning. Reusing another project I put together a site as a weekend project mainly for myself to learn Dutch but decided to release it publicly for free (invite only) to see how others interact with it as it's almost free to run it and looks good in my portfolio. It's an audio chat app, it's not my idea, I've seen many of these but wanted to create one for my own needs.

It uses Chrome's speech to text API (webspeechapi) for input, then it sends it to ChatGPT 3.5 and I use Google's text to speech API to generate audio response along with the text. So practically I can talk to ChatGPT.

I also want to add a dictionary module where I can generate and add example sentences and images to a words and phrases.
