Frank Wilhoit's definition of conservatism is that "There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
When applied to copyright and intellectual property rules, this means that more powerful actors can violate the rules with impunity but use them to prosecute less powerful ones and that less powerful actors must obey the rules but cannot use them to stop more powerful actors breaking them.
Because copyright and intellectual property rules usually have an exception for 'fair use' and the law is supposed to reflect what is fair, any powerful actor behaving this way is by definition legal and an example of fair use.
Copyhoit describes this general situation.

"Stealing content from a large language model to train another one is a copyhoit violation but stealing people's content to train a large language model and sell it back to them is just fair use."
"All my writing is under copyhoit so you can't just rip it off – but this publisher can."
"Copyhoit law is designed to promote innovation in expropriation and protect artists and other creators from the difficulties that come from owning their work"

Get the Copyhoit mug."Where (YouTube) merely assists an author in the creative process, its use does not change the copyrightability of the output,"
"Where a human inputs their own copyrightable work and that work is perceptible in the output, they will be the author of at least that portion of the output,"
From an "Ars Technica" article about the copyrightability of art as it relates to AI but I think it applies nicely here.

Hym "And what part of 'Using the existing architecture of narrative-interpreting AI in conjunction with a massive data set and a sophisticated compression algorithm (specifically to cut down on the energy cost)' is imperceptible? That's me. That is the 'they will be the author of AT LEAST that portion of the output. THAT is all that is happening here. The YouTube panhandlers wanted to get me for copyright infringement BUT THEY COULDN'T ESTABLISH INTENT. So they decided to engage in this retaliatory and deliberate and for profit copyright infringement campaign. For the YouTube freaks, the retaliatory nature of the act IS the expression of intent. It's cut and dry. It's no intent vs intent. Full forfeiture and restitution! They are also doing it for ideological reason which is a violation of my first amendment rights! Make the jew news pay for burying the story!"

And now, you are taking the things I say, rejecting them entirely, making up something you know is not actually the case to get revenge on me for rejecting your worldview after a charlatan had a mental breakdown because HE WAS TOO WEAK to deal with the situation I have been in for years EVEN PERIPHERALLY. Which is bullshit (your worldview). It's a Jewish incest cult. This is nothing more than a ploy to avoid giving me the credit I deserve for my contribution to AI and it is done by the supposed defenders of free speech for the use of free speech. You pay for it or a child dies. End of discussion. There will be no surrender. You address my grievance so maybe you can stop your kids from getting murdered the next time you decide to do this stupid shit and then you go fuck yourself. This is you lying to yourself and telling yourself you're not wrong on a loop under the guise of you getting the better of the guy who literally invented AI at a whim. You are worse. I am better. No amount of anti-logic is going to change that. The whore was wrong to fuck that cripple and you were stupid to try and use what was already happening to get revenge because you lost your fucking license over it. I handled MY situation correctly. YOU did not. And your YouTube propaganda stonewall is not going to do anything other than get a child killed if it already hasn't."

Get the Copying mug.That's exactly what it means Chael. You are trying to turn my expression of free speak into nothing more than air so you can steal AI from me. Some expressions of free speech are worth more than others and an original theory of AI is what you would call a "dissertation." You do need to pay for it because I SAID you have to pay for it.

Get the Copyright mug.Refers to da random meal-choice dat ya make in cases where you aren't familiar wif da types of offerings at a particular restaurant, often due to either da diner's being foreign-cuisine themed (i.e., Italian, Chinese, Hawaiian, etc.) or your not being accustomed to eating out in da fist place, and so instead of either asking yer friend who's treating you to choose "something tasty" for you or puzzling over da laminated dinner-options folder yerself, you just "enter default mode" or "go old school" by simply looking around at what meals other patrons are gleefully stuffing their cheeks wif, and then asking da waiter to serve you some of whatever dish looks/smells da best on said other folks' table.
My warm-natured tomboy friend Desiree took me out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant as a thank-you reward for my being such a helpfully-supportive friend to her; I wasn't accustomed to dat type of "savory 'n' spicy" fare, however, so I just observed a number of fellow diners' partaking of similar copiously-steaming and delicious-aromaed offerings, and then after my friend had ordered, I made a copycat menu-selection when asked which dish I wanted for myself.
