Your point hinged on billions in profit. Which you just made up, or assumed to be true for some reason. I don't think any of your points stand. Don't use fact you haven't checked as preconditions for points you want to make.

OpenAI hasn't made billions in profits. Their operating costs are huge and I'm pretty sure they're heavily reliant on outside funding.

Was it you who flagged my post? Can you please argue to the moderators that my expression should go uncensored?

> Where did I argue that? It's implied. You agree that some censorship is appropriate but disagree with what that is, suggesting that you know better than someone else which censorship is appropriate.

You grant that some censorship is warranted. Then you argue that you, and not someone else, should be deciding what censorship is warranted. Do you see the problem there?
