    When peasants were able to copy ‘intellectual property’ for personal benefit and enjoyment, it was a massive crime. When the oligarchs can steal - everything - for the slight chance of paying less in wages, it is an innovation.

    I think it is pretty much certain the model companies escape any penalty for their mass theft of IP. There will be some settlements and token penalties that sound big on paper, but are nothing compared to the market valuations.

      Not really. We had collage and training any kind of AI was fine before all this. There’s blood in the water and copyright companies can smell it.

      OpenAI is happy to give them a piece of the pie if that means they are the only ones allowed to sell it to consumers.

      You are right about the penalty being pennys compared to their profits. It’s not meant to punish them but help them build a moat, the one that got destroyed by China a few months ago.
