In 2022 it was 10k by foreigners the whole year, so let's say 5k/305k about 1.6% ish are foreigners? https://www.statista.com/statistics/1263319/japan-number-foreigners-arrested-crimes-law-violations

OpenAI, Microsoft hit with new author copyright lawsuit over AI training in c/technology

They are asking Microsoft and Open AI to pay a subscription?

You mean that they can later equate "subscription for using this model trained with my book" to "subscription for using your brain trained with my book"?
