Read the thread. Hell, read THIS thread. It’s one thing to steal somebody’s lifework and point towards ongoing legal cases that will make it ok because the practice will benefit big companies. It’s another thing to be an asshole about it. If it was “wow love her style”, sure, still can’t pay her bills with that but it’s actually “mid style, fuck you also go away”.
If ML people continue to treat the sole source of their models like this, they shouldn’t be surprised to be treated in a similar fashion.
