IDK, I feel that if you're doing 5000 HTTP calls to another website it's kind of good manners to fix that. But OpenAI has never cared about the public commons.

Nobody in this space gives a fuck about anyone outside of the people paying for their top-tier services, and even then, they only care about them when their bill is due. They don't care about their regular users, don't care about the environment, don't care about the people that actually made the "data" they're re-selling... nobody.
