> Why do you have one position for Swartz and a different one for OpenAI?

"Why do you have one position for an activist and another for a eight-hundred and fifty-two billion dollar, for-profit corporation?"

"Why to you have one position for someone who wanted to grow the intellectual commons and another for a corporation trying to enclose it?"

"Why do you have one position for someone who gave his work away for free and another for a company that charges for access to proprietary tech?"



I think it's good when eight-hundred and fifty-two billion dollar, for-profit corporation establish legal precedent than can then be used to protect activists.


And archivists!


Isn't the whole basis of the legal success of the AI companies so far that training an LLM is "transformative", i.e., something that would not apply in any way to archival?
