Agreed. I would also argue that trained model weights are not copyrightable.

Another high profile research group done in by bad photoshopping. I wonder how many frauds never get caught because they have decent photoshop skills.
Missed opportunity for "not great, not terrible".
Steel is a complex manufactured intermediate good, not just a raw material that you dig out of the ground. Steel products and production methods evolved rapidly over the course of the 20th century, and the downfall of British steel was because they couldn't/wouldn't upgrade their tech and how their industry was organized.
The same could have once been said of the British steel industry...
I want to like Palworld, but I don’t know if I can support running existing Pokemon through a fusor and passing them off as ‘new’ IP
Imagine being morally outraged on behalf of a multibillion dollar corporate behemoth.
Problem is, there isn't a way to open up the black boxes. It's the AI explainability problem. Even if you have the model weights, you can't predict what they will do without running the model, and you can't definitively verify that the model was trained as the model maker claimed.
Liability. Imagine an AI girlfriend who slowly earns your affection, then at some point manipulates you into sending bitcoins to a prespecified wallet set up by the model maker. Because models are black boxes, there is no way to verify by direct inspection that an AI hasn't been trained with an ulterior agenda (the "execute order 66" problem).
Biden's Palestine problem is starting to get real traction in the mainstream media, e.g. this opinion piece from the Financial Times today:
Ten thousand Palestinian children have been killed in the past 100 days, according to Save the Children. Yet Biden’s statement last Sunday calling on Hamas to release its 100 or so hostages made next to no reference to Palestinian suffering. It is as though acknowledgment of their plight would cast doubt on his heartfelt sympathy for the Israeli victims of Hamas’s barbaric rampage on October 7. Many younger Americans, whose enthusiasm Biden will badly need in November, are alienated. That is not to mention Arab-Americans, who are a key voting bloc in several swing states.
It also plays into Biden's "old and out of touch" image problem:
From his earliest days in politics he was one of Israel’s staunchest allies on Capitol Hill. But the circumstances in which his affection was forged have changed drastically. Golda Meir and Yitzhak Rabin, two Israeli leaders he admired, stood for the antithesis of Netanyahu’s brand of politics... At a fundraiser last month, Biden said: “We’re not going to do a damn thing other than to protect Israel. Not a single thing.”
Thought this was about Valve's Artifact TCG, and was like "wait, didn't they already shut that down?"
didn’t take off until Tesla built a Gigafactory to supply their batteries
BYD doesn't rely on Tesla to supply their batteries. It's the other way round: BYD started out as a battery company, and Tesla relies on their batteries in Shanghai, Germany, and other factories. Tesla originally used batteries from CATL, another Chinese company, but started switching to BYD a few years ago.
To avoid this, Gazan civilians who are out in public should wear black clothing and masks, and move tactically between points of cover.
