Not really OpenAI but today's society. I say this started with the "just do it and ask for forgiveness later" attitude that started maybe 20 or 30 years ago.

At one time most people had respect, even people at the top, now many people just do what they want. Plus most of the time they get away with it.

One could make the argument that

"just do it and ask for forgiveness later"

is what the entire LLM industry is based on. They swallowed up all of society’s copyrighted texts without really asking for permission from anyone. This is just par for the course for them it seems unfortunately.

Well the asking for forgiveness part is also missing in this case, entirely.

We can fix this by holding each other accountable. Peer pressure and community sanctions of bad actors will result in the changes we need.
