The situation is all kinds of messed up, capitalism also has a great deal to do with it. Problem is, that you as an individual will be known as stealing copyright material if you simply copied it, whereas someone/something else like AI would be treated entirely differently.

It kind of does look like a capitalist utopia with the rule breaking ai and all, authoritarianism being the other prevalent power.

Possibly, their only choice in furthering their evil ambitions is manipulation. It’s only natural they will play the blaming game once they’re situated in - authoritarianism is all about it.

So is this for the safety of the children, right?
