    If the RIAA could get millions from kids downloading songs on Napster, wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect that AI companies pay for the intellectual property that they have stolen from anyone who has ever posted anything on the internet?

    Maybe AI companies can exist as long as they fund universal basic income.

      That means they would need actually make money instead of just shuffling loans around. It’s a shell game, and the public is going to be left with empty pockets.
