How does anyone treat generative #AI and #MachineLearning on unlicensed and uncompensated work as anything other than theft?

How does anyone treat the companies selling access to the resulting models (e.g., #OpenAI, #Microsoft, #Google, #Meta, #Anthropic, #StabilityAI) as anything other than criminal thieves and fences moving stolen goods?

How do #genAI users absolve themselves of the guilt from receiving and profiting from these pickpockets?

@modean987 I've just heard #StabilityAI are switching to a new license which means you'd have to pay a monthly fee even if you run the software on your own personal computer, and you don't even own the models and LoRAs you train with your own images, and if Stability AI don't like your models, they can order you to delete them. It seems like they're abandoning the idea of open source and going the proprietary route, hoping to make money.

"(...) the British model builder's extreme infrastructure costs drained its coffers, leaving the biz with just $4 million in reserve by last October. (...)
What's more, it appears that a sizable portion of the cloudy resources Stability AI paid for were being given away to anyone outside the startup interested in experimenting with Stability's models."
