@enron I continue to see this talking point of comparing Sam Altman and Aaron Swartz brought up and find it asinine. Here's why:
- If you think Sam Altman is conducting theft, this must mean you support copyright and intellectual property, because there must be something to steal in the first place.
- If you support copyright, then you must also support the enforcement of said copyright and the laws around it, otherwise it's meaningless.
- If you support copyright enforcement, you cannot support Aaron Swartz, who belligerently thwarted copyright enforcement and gave his life rather than bow down to those who enforce it.
I don't care about whatever moral ground you think you have on OpenAI, your main argument is flawed at its core and doesn't do Aaron justice.
