The law isn't settled on this but whatever the final answer is it will clearly not be resolved by relying on poor analogy. A model is NOTHING like a jpeg. It's also little like a human being learning. We are going to need to be adults and pass actual legislation speaking to this.
- BaseballPhysics 4y agoYou completely missed the point of my comment. The commenter was claiming that unless you can recover data "verbatim" an encoding cannot be considered compression. My example was to illustrate the silliness of that point, not to draw a straight line comparison between model weights and a lossy image compression format. As for legislation, I completely agree with you. There's real danger that, absent that, you'll just end up with legislation from the bench where judges attempt to shoehorn these issues into existing legal frameworks, and I suspect no one will be satisfied with the outcome.
