Linking to this because I know people here read Ars Technica, and I totally didn’t become a subscriber three days before this was announced. Nope. No sir.

    I understand them. If they refused for integrity reasons, openai would steal their content anyways via scrapers.

    Suing them for copyright infringement, even if is the desire we all have, is ultra expensive.

    I would also have signed that deal with the devil…

      Either you sell your soul for something, or get it taken from you, leaving you with nothing.

      I would have signed it too, but only because I’m awesome on fiddle and I could totally win my soul back.
