alt Hacker NewsThere is an enormous difference between:
* Exploiting ambiguity around fair use at a large scale before the law catches up and then jointly lobbying with your competition to make sure your interpretation of the law becomes reality.
* Explicitly signing a contract with enterprises to respect their IP and then proceeding to break that contract with your own customers.
The former is firmly in the gray area of legality and doesn't directly hurt your own customers. The latter is both an unambiguous contract violation and a flagrant attack on your own customers' most valuable asset.

retention for 'safety' -> AI race as national security -> training on your data for 'national security' aka safety
It's simple mental calisthenics. If you are handing an organization whose entire business model is built on stealing data with spurious reasoning, what do you actually expect they will do? Don't be a fool.

You mean all the conditions that are attached to Fable use? My enterprise is deliberately holding off because those are unacceptable.

While I don’t have visibility into individual corp contracts, hitting tab on a FIM is ‘feedback’, so it is not so clear cut.
