I think this is the main takeaway. Kaggle, corporate sponsored hack-a-thons, etc. are all very cheap ways for companies to get a lot of work that is typically very expensive done for very cheap. Who benefits from these situations except for companies? Even if you get a job out of your kaggle contributions, what value was created for a company by kaggle in comparison to the value that was created for you?

We would arguably all benefit from a robust method to detect deepfakes, and from its availability, as open source, to all platforms large and small.

That’s a benefit to the collective and I believe mnky9800n is referring to the authors of the extremely beneficial work being exploited via inadequate compensation.

Perhaps for only about a week, until the GANs can be optimized to bypass detection. It is an arms race with no end in sight if we're being honest.
