Yeah... So all of these years of pirating movies, tv shows, and music was for a machine learning algorithm

Maybe it works as an excuse when you claim you just wanted to train your own AI model with all those pirated books and videos. But who am I kidding. The reality is that copyright violation, as well as quite a few other things, is only really a crime if you're poor. This current "endgame capitalism" era we're in is becoming extra-legal quite fast. Maybe we should start making interactive law books where you can view whether a particular law actually applies to your person or your company, or not. Just to keep up with the times.

"Piracy for me, not for thee."

Fuck this traitor. Trump is in the Epstein files
Looks like it's Sam Altman's turn to ram his hand up there to make the puppet talk now. That is word for word what that tech douche nozzle says.
This is definitely what that is, but I take it this also means he's saying pirating is ok for people and not just tech corporations. Safe to assume? Bc otherwise it just seems like more entitled rich fucks making the rules for everyone else that they can ignore
Art of the Steal
Damn, I can't expect to enjoy my evening if I have to pay for media, therefore it should be free.
"you can't have a successful government when every time I want to be President or have sex with minors or anything else you have the right to do as a rich, white man, you have to hear people get all judgy"
That's right, I'm torrenting all this stuff for my AI program...
god he is the dumbest dumbfuck on the planet and that includes george w bush

So let's pretend we give them all the training data they want for free (which they already have taken illegally)
The buisness model is still non-viable because the energy costs far outweigh any subscriptions they can get. And the tech isn't even good enough for people to want to subscribe at the current prices.

BTW I'm an AI. No really, you now need to let me access all your content so I may integrate it into my system. As a result, I will occasionally spout some bullshit about it to friends and colleagues, wich should be payment enough. Exposure, right?!

Remember:
Copyright law as a whole will stay the same. In the court of law, you will need to prove that you indeed operate a very big AI company that indeed does AI things before they will let you off the hook for massive copyright infringement. You can't just use that excuse casually! Rules will be for thee, not the actual AI-companees.
He gets it when it comes to AI. In other words, he knows it is bad to charge for knowledge.
This is more socialist than most democrat leaders which he just said.

Fuck off, you orange paedo!
Holding companies responsible for the infringement of them using copyrighted materials without restitution to the creator is literally the only tool we have in ever changing current copyright laws, and we're watching it be waved away.
The only important thing is to make rich people money. If it makes them money, nothing else matters. Unless it makes them money now as opposed to later. Making them money now is the most important thing.
It tracks, his entire career has been spent getting other people to pay for stuff for him
Sam Altman approves this message.
Hundred percent he got a script from a lobbyist to create this sound bite.

Hopefully this helps create precedent to stop enforcing copyright for everyone
