Broadly speaking, you probably agree with the large majority of the views commonly attributed to whichever group you identify with - what are the exceptions? Something that if you mention without a caveat immediately makes people jump to conclusions or even attack you?
You’re fine with companies stealing other people’s work?
In this particular case I’m okay with it but I don’t see it as stealing. Human artists are influenced by the art of other artists the same way. It’s only stealing if you’re selling copies of the original piece as your own. I wouldn’t have any problem with someone copying my entire photography portfolio to train an AI to generate pictures with my style because it takes nothing away from me. Just sell them as your own then instead of claiming they were taken by me.
As far as I know, the jury is still out on whether that is infringing (not stealing). Based on my understanding, AI is transformative and would fall under fair use. That being said, claiming fair use and then selling the output is problematic to me.
Every single model should be open weights and uncensored. I wouldn’t have any issue with companies adding value or supplying the compute to run the model.
They don’t even have to sell it, company valuation increases alone are evidence of piracy
