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.

Epstein
"Piracy for me, not for thee."
Damn, I can't expect to enjoy my evening if I have to pay for media, therefore it should be free.
Fuck this traitor. Trump is in the Epstein files
Art of the Steal
"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"
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.

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.
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.
It tracks, his entire career has been spent getting other people to pay for stuff for him
Fuck off, you orange paedo!
Sam Altman approves this message.
Hundred percent he got a script from a lobbyist to create this sound bite.
