Almost sounds as if in order to steal intellectual property, they had to go down the "traditional" route of talking to someone, making promises etc. If it turns out that a chatbot isn't the best tool for plagiarizing something, what is it even good for?

Old McDonald had a startup, iyo io o[4-mini].

It's funny how just today in a completely unrelated context a generative ai enthusiast used an example of OpenAI getting sued by NYT as a reason why they wouldn't commit some other malfeasance because they'd get caught if they did.

Iyo? Io? Ive? Nah, fuck all those guys. Give me Ivo, give me Amazo.

Pretty sure Altman is gonna get away with settling with Iyo. Hopefully they demand cold hard cash and not weird-ass OpenAI company scrip.
