Begun, the AI Wars have.

I didn't have that on my 2020 bingo card, but it has been a very long year so everything is possible.

Excited to see the guys that made Nightshade get sued in a Silicon Valley district court, because they're something something mumble mumble intellectual property national security.

They already stole GPLv2 code for their last data poisoning scheme and remain in violation of that license. They're just grifters.

If their targets don't care about intellectual property, why should they?

Because the people producing code with GPL are completely unrelated to the AI issues.

You’re asking why you can’t shoot your neighbor if Russians are shooting Ukrainians.

No, I'm asking why they're held to a standard the AI makers are not when they're not even charging for the completely optional tool.

That’s a strawman. AI makers should definitely respect FOSS licenses.

You’re just looking for excuses for their shitty behavior.

The entire premise of the AIs are based on stealing intellectual property, which you'll find cover far more ground than FOSS, but sure, whatever you say, person who definitely knows what a straw man is.

And you are actually okay with collateral damage just because one of the two party is shitty in a way you don’t like.

You’re not sticking it to the man by stealing other people’s code. You’re just hurting the little guy who spent hours on it.

Lul, collateral damage. Something tells me you've pirated a thing or two of your own, Concerned Citizen.

Again you’re not sticking it to the man by stealing from the little guy. WTF do you think you’re justified stealing your friend’s DVDs because Netflix takes money from you? Do you really think you’re making a stand?

You’re just looking for an excuse to be a shitty person.
