As the article points out, they are arguing in court against the new york times that publicly available data is fair game.

The questions I am keenly waiting to observe the answer to (because surely Sam's words are lies): how hard is OpenAI willing to double down on their contradictory positions? What mental gymnastics will they use? What power will back them up, how, and how far will that go?

Their way of squaring this circle has always been to whine about "AI safety". (the cultish doomsday shit, not actual harms from AI)

Sam Altman will proclaim that he alone is qualified to build AI and that everyone else should be tied down by regulation.

And it should always be said that this is, of course, utterly ridiculous. Sam Altman literally got fired over this, has an extensive reputation as a shitweasel, and OpenAI's constant flouting and breaking of rules and social norms indicates they CANNOT be trusted.

When large sums of money are involved the techbros will burn everything down, go scorched earth no matter what the consequences, to keep what they believe they're entitled to.
