Obviously they paid for the whole enchilada. My point is that last year only the richest megacorps could afford to run these models. The industry was self-selecting in their favor. I think no one predicted just how fast we would blow through those hardware barriers. And now they're scrambling to throw up new, regulatory barriers to maintain market share. OpenAI's behavior is nothing more than rent-seeking. And I guess I'm just kinda tired of seeing all this discussion on the topic of licensing like its anything other.
