- So first AI companies break the law left and right, setting up whole torrenting factories to exercise their content kleptomania.

- Then "hilarity ensues" while their software engages in what would normally be called criminal hacking activity.

- I guess the next steps are everybody admiring how close the AGI is, while agents move on to automated impersonation, privacy violations, or exploiting third-party systems

I would love to understand this age of AI Exceptionalism. Normal rules do not apply because its AI...I call it Silicon Valley Qualified Immunity.
