    “un american”, “shame”, “responsibility”, “respect”, “standard human behavior” are not terms that affect these kinds of people. if its not a law backed up by a gun, people like trump will flat out ignore your meaningless words.

      I mean, you’d think as a fellow grifter Altman would understand that because he’s the same fucking way.

      He started with books3, it was known it was pirated, it was known it DRM had been stripped from ebooks (a federal crime in the US).

      He started his company with a dataset of more than questionable provenance and he did not pay a dime for access to it.

      books3 is a well known corpus that was built from the entirety of the Bibliotik private tracker for ebooks. It’s a fucking pirate website with piracy as the explicit goal as well as tools to allow you to strip DRM from ebooks.

      Now, piracy itself isn’t the issue here, it’s that somehow when it’s a massive corporation doing it, suddenly it’s okay to make obscene amounts of money from piracy. When the rich steal shit and make a mint off of it, it’s fine. But when little people do it? Fuck em, sue em and prosecute them for all they’re worth.

      Rules don’t apply to them, and they know it.

      Exactly. To think that Sam Altman‘s motivations are anything but self interest is completely foolish. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone else but himself.

        All of the creative content he has been training his fancy autocomplete on. My data, your comments, my cousin’s art portfolio, he either stole or paid someone else to steal through partnerships.

    it’d be ‘un-American’ for Elon Musk to wield political influence to harm rivals

    Seems pretty darn American to me. What’s more American than trying to win the wealth and profit race by any means necessary? It’s as American as apple pie.

    Elon:

    “un-American??”

    “And buying an election, buying a position within government, buying a propaganda machine, is American? Ok, well maybe that actually is American.”

        I thought that made him a bad person? I don’t know who to believe anymore. Guess I’ll have to form my own opinions based on the content of their character.
