To me, I’m afraid it looks like they suckers." Well they suck if they are not taking a stand for bankrupting AI. "Also backing Anthropic's appeal, advocates representing authors, libraries, and digital rights groups" These organisations are pro...

I think the charge for using chatGPT should be an electric shock. Might wake some people up. hahahahahaha. Jokes, not jokes,
