- ghaff 3y agoI have no idea what you mean by laundering IP. Existing IP is built on all the time in ways that are or are not permissible depending upon the nature of the IP protection, if any, and the nature of the extension. And sometimes things end up going to court, especially in the context of patents. And lots of things that aren’t generally protectable like new artistic styles and techniques are co-opted all the time by other artists.
- willis936 3y agoI'm talking about the unlicensed distribution of copyright protected IP.
- ghaff 3y agoWhich there is a good argument AI models are not.
- willis936 3y agoI wouldn't characterize the arguments I've heard to date as "good". They are wishful thinking of those uninterested in abiding the rules.
