Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"un american", "shame", "responsibility", "respect", "standard human behavior" are not terms that affect these kinds of people. if its not a law backed up by a gun, people like trump will flat out ignore your meaningless words.
I mean, you'd think as a fellow grifter Altman would understand that because he's the same fucking way.
He started with books3, it was known it was pirated, it was known it DRM had been stripped from ebooks (a federal crime in the US).
He started his company with a dataset of more than questionable provenance and he did not pay a dime for access to it.
books3 is a well known corpus that was built from the entirety of the Bibliotik private tracker for ebooks. It's a fucking pirate website with piracy as the explicit goal as well as tools to allow you to strip DRM from ebooks.
Now, piracy itself isn't the issue here, it's that somehow when it's a massive corporation doing it, suddenly it's okay to make obscene amounts of money from piracy. When the rich steal shit and make a mint off of it, it's fine. But when little people do it? Fuck em, sue em and prosecute them for all they're worth.
Rules don't apply to them, and they know it.
"Whiny lying billionaire thief complains about whiny psychpathic megabillionaire having more clout."
Exactly. To think that Sam Altman‘s motivations are anything but self interest is completely foolish. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone else but himself.
Thief?
All of the creative content he has been training his fancy autocomplete on. My data, your comments, my cousin's art portfolio, he either stole or paid someone else to steal through partnerships.
it'd be 'un-American' for Elon Musk to wield political influence to harm rivals
Seems pretty darn American to me. What's more American than trying to win the wealth and profit race by any means necessary? It's as American as apple pie.
Elon:
"un-American??"
"And buying an election, buying a position within government, buying a propaganda machine, is American? Ok, well maybe that actually is American."
Ok Sam, use your great wealth and platform to do something about it
Too busy building a big gay bunker. Did you all know he was gay? That makes him a good person!
I thought that made him a bad person? I don’t know who to believe anymore. Guess I’ll have to form my own opinions based on the content of their character.
What's more American than buying a politician!?
Buying all the politicians?
Buying all the politicians McDonald's?
Even if this were true, he's not fucking American.
He's not American
Cool, which one of you silver spoon pussies is going to do something about it?
Maybe we can ask Brian Thompson’s new pal to help out.
As if Musk would care.
Well to bad for him, Elron Musk is not a legal American.
..afraid of hostile take-over of OpenAI by Musk...
No. Shit.
Translation: "Pwease don't buwwy me Mistew Musk."
