This issue reminded me of the following:

These conditions are ripe for “copyright laundering”-the use of multi-generational synthetic pipelines, an “AI Ouroboros,” to render traditional proof of infringement impracticable.

This Article adapts the “fruit of the poisonous tree” (FOPT) principle to propose a novel AI FOPT standard: if a foundational AI model’s training is adjudged infringing (either for unlawful sourcing or for non-transformative ingestion that fails fair-use), then subsequent AI models principally derived from the foundational model’s outputs or distilled weights carry a rebuttable presumption of taint.

The burden then shifts to the downstream developers-those who control the evidence of provenance-to restore the evidentiary bargain by affirmatively demonstrating a verifiably independent and lawfully sourced lineage or a curative rebuild, without displacing fair-use analysis at the initial ingestion stage. Absent such proof, commercial deployment of tainted models and their outputs is actionable.

Apologies, but for some reason I understand it, even if from the first glance the article seems uncommon…

I am around 40 myself, but it feels like some younger people don’t want to think much at all… They just don’t care and their “stare” shows that you mean nothing, or do not consider your an individual at all but just an objectified obstacle.

It feels indeed like some people nowadays have “glass”, “voided”, or just “empty” eyes…

Some know the OP is into GitLab more than GitHub ^^
