It is deliberate planning. There was an understanding of this and shift towards the perceived “expanding markets” you’ve described within the private prison industry. This was towards the middle/end of the Biden administration as they’d already capitalized on Trump term 1 policies that Biden left in place. I’m going to spare myself digging through the market journals right now but if you snoop around you can find it.

“Breaking laws under the banner of a mega-corp Tulpa feels yucky”

Capitalists are completely bonkers, living in a warped reality that you have to be inculcated into by serial abusers

Okay so this is actually a death threat by OpenAI that Fortune is laundering and helping spread. This is clearly modeled after the Boeing murders and resulting wave of anti-activist propaganda that the capitalist media spread afterward.

Otherwise they wouldn’t be re-framing things like this:

That vantage point helped build his view that OpenAI was breaking the law by making copies of online content. OpenAI was Balaji’s first job out of college, a prodigious leap that…

This young man did not have “his view” that OpenAI is breaking the law and stealing content. That is what is factually happening. He was not a naive idealist, fresh out of college. He was a 26 year old man who knew that what he was seeing was wrong.

Fortune then deeply implies that OpenAI has murdered him. This propaganda serves to terrorize people who are in similar positions with corporations. It is a death threat.

Mr. Remington, as a mod, maybe you could add some context to the headline to reflect this.

nice to hear some real punk

People were tricked into streaming and should stop streaming from any source. Take the media you want and store it. Streaming is bad for the environment, bad for artists, bad for media preservation, and bad for our rights. Corpos want you to stream because they don’t think you should own anything or access anything without them. Do not comply.

Use an app like Freetube to deny them ads entirely.
