I would have expected the question of copyright over AI-authored work to be a critical failure point, however.
(I see arguments against “Open”AI / Anthropic but what about companies like Mistral?)
Look at the political landscape (in America) today, and why does government fail to serve its people? Because corporations by and large want to privatise everything because it gives them ever increasing power over people's lives. (so they agree to destroy institutions that have served people well)
Obviously Europe (yes, not a monoculture) and China are not immune, but it manifests itself in different ways that I am not really qualified to get into.

Interesting that he's OK using technology in general though, almost all of which is created from raw materials mined by forced/child labor. How is that not more important?
Edit: seems fine now, maybe we hit some connection limit? /shrug
Practical or not, it's abhorrent.
But it wasn't trained on the entirety of human thought. It's mostly trained with what is available on the internet.
We've kind of reached the age of true industrial sized data. We've been acclimated to being able to eventually get to supercomputer levels of computation -- it will be a decade before we get there (if we ever do). It will be critical to retain the data that we have before it is locked off from the world into private vaults.
I think the other sibling response to this comment is reasonable: corporations violate the law and they pay some minimal penalty. people violate the law and effectively lose their life.
Useful? I guess without a ton of the RL training sets it may be challenging.
