yeah and the paintbrush somehow has abstracted access to millions of proprietary and copyleft licensed source code in forms of weight.

this is a clear misuse and abuse of any fair use rights, and clear push to centralisation of copyright to only a few companies with big budgets that can defend themselves.

i mean, can you really challenge and win against openai, a company backed by the govt, that your copyleft source code are misused as training data?
