When corporations scrape academic papers, it's justified. When individuals do it, it's inexcusable. (lemmy.ml)

To be fair, if I had an option to effectively invest in Google circa 2004 in 2024 I would toss some spare money at it, and that's basically what OpenAI is offering at this moment. They've established themselves, shown strong leadership and established strong relationships with major companies. They're a leader in a particular product segment and while they could falter and fail, there's enough momentum that they're more likely to be acquired than to actually fail, plus they're swimming in extremely uncharted waters so there's plenty of opportunities for them to both greatly improve ongoing operational efficiency and to create new products with new markets, much like where Google was in 2004
