I have a hard time imagining a world where it is not the case at least in the US i.e. where copyright is extended to a work with no originality in direct contradiction to copyright clause in the constitution.
- bilbo0s 3y agoIt's all kind of irrelevant. If they are not copyrightable, then most companies will simply hide them behind an API. There is no law saying these companies must release their weights. The companies are releasing their weights because they felt they could charge for and control other things. Like the output from their models. If they can't charge for and control those other things, then we'll likely see far fewer companies releasing weights. Most of this stuff will move behind APIs in that scenario.
- rvcdbn 3y agoMaybe, maybe not. Companies are not monoliths. For all we know, internally it’s already well known that model weights likely aren’t copyrightable and the only reason for the restrictions is to give the appearance of being responsible to appease the AI doomers.
