These lawsuits continue to be a waste of time. I hope these companies relocate their AI operations to countries with less ambiguous laws, like Japan or Singapore.

AI wastes a lot more than time. I hope these lawsuits make investors run full-speed from the whole lot of it, and this entire cursed industry collapses in on itself with all of its incestuous nonsense economic sleight-of-hand currently setting us up for the next Great Crash.

A day later after the Anthropic settlement [0], another AI training lawsuit filed.

Second of many.
