"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.
"Whiny lying billionaire thief complains about whiny psychpathic megabillionaire having more clout."
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.
Thief?
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."
Ok Sam, use your great wealth and platform to do something about it
Too busy building a big gay bunker. Did you all know he was gay? That makes him a good person!
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.
What's more American than buying a politician!?
Buying all the politicians?
Buying all the politicians McDonald's?
Even if this were true, he's not fucking American.
OpenAI has spent at least $1.25M on lobbying this year.
He's not American
Cool, which one of you silver spoon pussies is going to do something about it?
Maybe we can ask Brian Thompson’s new pal to help out.
Good thing he's South African then you evil dumbass
As if Musk would care.
Well to bad for him, Elron Musk is not a legal American.
..afraid of hostile take-over of OpenAI by Musk...
Translation: "Pwease don't buwwy me Mistew Musk."
No. Shit.
