On the one hand, sure, models generalize. It’s cool they established that.
On the other hand, the copyright argument seems to be that they stole so much data that the contribution of any individual image rounds down to zero, therefore it’s not infringing? Wha??

Skew binary trees. They’re an immutable data structure combining the performance characteristics of lists (O(1) non-amortized push/pop) and b-trees (log(N) lookup and updates)
They use a sequence of complete trees, cleverly arranged using skew binary numbers so that adding an element never causes cascading updates.
In practice they’re superseded by relaxed radix balanced trees.
