A reminder, they started with books3, a dataset that was always very honest that it was entirely pirated material from the private torrent tracker Bibliotik.

They always knew, they never had any intention to pay a dime to any of the creatives they stole from.

When you steal big enough, they let you do it and say it's just business. When you steal small potatoes like The Pirate Bay, they lock you up.

"Yes judge I downloaded Shrek 2 to train my neural net for my startup"

"The name of my neural net? Sailor Sega Saturn's brain I guess..."

"Oh my startup? That's what I call trying to get out of bed in the morning!"

...and then you start singing All Star by Smash Mouth at the judge.

SomeBODY once told me

The world was gonna roll me

I'm only a stochastic parrot

She was looking kinda dumb

Drawing those extra thumbs

And insisting that the L was on your head

Well, the slop starts coming and it don't stop coming

Steal all the books so you hit the ground running

Didn't make sense but I still got funds

Stole so much art but it still looks dumb

So much to steal, not much for free

So what's wrong with my copyright cheat

You'll never know where your power flowed

Just wait on my uranium glow!

Hey now, you're a slop star

Regulators get played

Hey now, you're a great mark

But Sam Altman got paid

All that matters is growth

And that journalists all get rolled
