Excited to see the guys that made Nightshade get sued in a Silicon Valley district court, because they're something something mumble mumble intellectual property national security.

They already stole GPLv2 code for their last data poisoning scheme and remain in violation of that license. They're just grifters.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

sigh Grifts all the way down, it seems.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 9 points 10 months ago

If their targets don't care about intellectual property, why should they?

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

Because the people producing code with GPL are completely unrelated to the AI issues.

You’re asking why you can’t shoot your neighbor if Russians are shooting Ukrainians.

Most murican analogy ever, but I can see myself re using it in several contexts

No, I'm asking why they're held to a standard the AI makers are not when they're not even charging for the completely optional tool.

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

That’s a strawman. AI makers should definitely respect FOSS licenses.

You’re just looking for excuses for their shitty behavior.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 10 months ago

The entire premise of the AIs are based on stealing intellectual property, which you'll find cover far more ground than FOSS, but sure, whatever you say, person who definitely knows what a straw man is.

And you are actually okay with collateral damage just because one of the two party is shitty in a way you don’t like.

You’re not sticking it to the man by stealing other people’s code. You’re just hurting the little guy who spent hours on it.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 10 months ago

Lul, collateral damage. Something tells me you've pirated a thing or two of your own, Concerned Citizen.

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Again you’re not sticking it to the man by stealing from the little guy. WTF do you think you’re justified stealing your friend’s DVDs because Netflix takes money from you? Do you really think you’re making a stand?

You’re just looking for an excuse to be a shitty person.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 2 points 10 months ago

If your friend wouldn't let you copy his DVDs to help artists defend themselves from being outright replaced by a soulless bot with no creativity of its own, they aren't your friend.

[-] DrRatso@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Noone is being prohibited from using the code, the code can be used if they comply with the license, which they didn’t.

Do they make money off the snakeoil from artists? No. But they still make money off the snakeoil, they made quite a bit of it with glaze in the form of research grants etc, likely the same with nightshade. And in the end they just peddle false hope.
