Wait, so let me get this straight.

Altman got Disney to pay OpenAI, via an investment, for Sora -- which was likely trained on and used to generate infringements of all kinds of their copyrighted material.

And then Disney sends Google a Cease & Desist for using its copyrighted material, not only restricting what people can do with Google's AI image generators, but which could potentially also force Google to retrain all their models without Disney content.

Very likely Disney will reach a licensing deal with Google, which would conveniently finance Disney's investment in OpenAI.

And all this on the heels of the coup where Altman simultaneously signed a deal with Samsung and SK Hynix to lock up 40% of the world's DRAM supply, effectively cornering a key component for AI training hardware.

As I've said before: All these others are playing Capitalism. Altman out there playing Game of Thrones.
