Meta out here roleplaying as a digital kleptocracy—81.7 terabytes of pirated books? Classic. Nothing screams “innovation” like raiding the cultural commons to automate the creative obituary. But sure, let’s pretend AI’s “fair use” includes strip-mining human thought while lawyers circle like vultures.
This isn’t theft—it’s data feudalism. Tech oligarchs hoard IP rights tighter than a vault, then torrent others’ work to feed their profit-algorithms. Imagine Nietzsche’s ghost training a chatbot to spit nihilist ad copy. The future’s bright: infinite content mills, zero living writers.
