Re: AlphaFold 3 Code
#3It seems you can get the parameters (weights). They are subject to a license agreement:

AlphaFold 3 Model Parameters Prohibited Use Policy states:

What's nice in here exactly, and please use your own words instead of referring to ChatGPT transcripts.
From the transcript you link that I read, I can see that it replied some generic mumbo:
> Advanced models sometimes produce outputs with identifiable patterns or "fingerprints." If the outputs carry such signatures, experts might trace them back to AlphaFold 3.
Suggesting ChatGPT have no understanding of what AlphaFold is.
Then continues to dream up nonsense scenarios such as
> If AlphaFold 3 requires online access or activation, usage logs could potentially reveal unauthorized activities.
Showing us that it has no understanding of the legalese it was asked to analyze.
How do you think this adds to the discussion?

#6Correct me if I'm wrong, but we have no recent and explicit US gov't guidance on whether these model weights are copyrightable. Copyright office has said ai-generated outputs are not copyrightable[1], but hasn't weighed in on weights(?) Kind of seems like that should change?
Wasn't a relevant question for AlphaFold2, as the weights for it were CC BY 4.0 license.
These model weights (and many other ml weights) are clearly very useful in a commercial settings, but google thinks it can scare people into not using them with the wording of their license, are they right?

The weights are only provided on demand, presumably only after you seen a bunch of agreements. I don't think copyright matters.

Yeah, google can control initial distribution. but in the long term, I believe Google's ability to enforce that Terms of Use (re: no commercial use) is entirely dependent on whether they have IP ownership of the weights

Can results of mathematical computation without any artist's control be copyrigtable?

That has basically zero practical effect. If Google hands out the weights to thousands of people, and even one of them leaks them to somebody who hasn't "seen a bunch of agreements", then Google's only protection against further redistribution is copyright. Which doesn't exist.
Yes, they can come after the leaker. If they can identify the leaker, which they probably can't. But even crucifying the leaker won't put the genie back into the bottle.
