Especially as the open weight models are really generated by corporates, and they could stop releasing them at any time.
But we'd still have them. It's not like we're gaining much with new training anymore anyway

I'm pretty sure watermarking is (or soon will be) a requirement for AI generated images in software used in the EU, as part of their regulations for AI transparency.

Building a tool that tries (and probably fails) to remove the watermark (due to the arms race that large corporate machines will win) is tacitly accepting the barcode. The hacker ethos should be, first and foremost, to run open source models locally without relying on a corporation.

Hobbyists do not. ROI is not a factor.

They have a finite # of employees, a finite budget, and a finite amount of time. Hobbyists do not. ROI is not a factor.
Legalize recreational plutonium.
I don't know I really like the definitive indicator that something is AI so I can completely ignore anything else that comes from them.

It's already possible to lie with text. Pixels are pixels. If we can't blindly believe pixels to show the truth, we will be simply back to the pre-photography era which managed to have a concept of truth regardless.
When could you ever trust pixels?

As yes, the hobbyist built nuclear weapons program..... Legalize recreational plutonium.

To be fair the state works pretty hard to crush "hobbyist" nuclear weapons programs so you don't really know how far it could get.
Unless we're only considering final assembly. Just gotta get that weapons grade fissile material supplier lined up. That might or might not qualify as rich hobbyist territory depending on how high a price tag is permissible.

Yes. Winning against piracy doesn't mean you completely eliminate piracy. It means you scare enough people into not doing it and make it a bit harder to do for others. Losing to piracy would see companies like Netflix and Spotify not thriving.
By which definition they utterly failed.

Not at all. Netflix and Spotify do well because they are a good value proposition for the average customer. Piracy is free at point of "purchase" but is (and always has been) expensive in terms of various sorts of overhead.
