    Sam Altman stated that the cost of training GPT-4 was more than $100 million, so I think they’ll survive this (just ask daddy Microsoft for more money). Not sure if the figure includes cost of obtaining the training data though.

    It’s pretty funny if the thing that would prevents AI from taking over human jobs is the copyright law though.

      While we play civil law, the world plays realpolitik.

      Chances are good this legal challenge against AI is the work of our geopolitical rivals.

        I’d be careful around interpreting any challenge to big business as the doing of hostile foreign powers. That line of thought rationalizes corporations being above the rule of law, which is kinda fascistic.

          I’m not equating any and all with that, just this one instance because the discussion here is about a technology that will be a deciding factor in warfare.
