WTF is "Glaze"?
Glaze is the latest and greatest weapon in the artcels defensive and holy crusade against AI art. The "TL;Not a dweeb" is that it glazes art with shrooms-infused nut, so when AI ingests it as training material it acts funny.
This is supposedly "barely visible"
(And is supposedly already reversible, hearsay though so I can't confirm)
Drama?
It gets spicy. Glaze is scared of making it open source because something something protect artists this, something something we're a bunch of cute twinks that. As seen here.

While not including code for an academic project makes them cucks to begin with, they explicitly commited copyright infringement by not making the source available
The Reddit thread goes over this, but someone de"compiled" (lol python) it, and there's explicitly copied code from another, GPL project. Including exact method names and typos. Indefensible evidence basically.
The knee is bent, but the wrong way
https://twitter.com/ravenben/status/1636439335569375238
This is brought to their attention, and they promise to rewrite the front end
Which is fricking stupid, and like most CS majors, he's a fricking moron
GPL applies to the entire project. It's a viral license
And they use stolen backend code too from the same project
These are the people concern-grifting about AI "copyright infringement" btw

CS is honestly not a programming degree. Here in Germany if you just want to be a code monkey you do something else (IT specialist for application development according to dict.cc).
I also use info from many more classes in my daily job. Even my elective class (intro course for psychophysics) is still good to know/have. Of course I also had shitty BSc courses that I will never use again (robotic shit, security shit, ...). Everything from my MSc is useful too.

I’m referring to academia-cels and students. Comp Sci majors are already bad at programming, straying further from computing as the focus doesn’t gain you better computer engineering skills.

That's not what "viral license" means. A viral license is one that imposes the same conditions on the licensing of any derivative work. It is not a reference to propagation through a project. The LGPL explicitly doesn't propagate through a project, and it's still a viral license because of its redistribution licensing requirements.
As for "GPL applies to the entire project," that's a legal theory promoted by organizations like the FSF and SFC, but it's not backed up much by case law. The idea that using an API creates a derivative work of the code providing the API is, I think, actually a bit of a stretch. It's not an interpretation broadly held outside of FLOSS, even where it would be applicable.

If the glaze is supposed to trick SD training, cant the codecels create a counterglaze to apply overtop the original glaze such that the glaze goes back to being noise?

I came up with my own way to combat AI art that I also call Glaze... Its where you build up a painting using layers of transparent paint AKA "glazes". This allows you to mix colors without mixing pigments which preserves the luminosity of the pure pigments and also gives a sense of depth to the art that really can't be replicated with a computer
My plan is to generate a bunch of reference images with AI and then use Glaze to put them on canvas
