I think we've abandoned rule-based world order.

A young person asked me this same question about the demo the private jet company put out a few months ago showing the satellite view from the “seat” of any flight path in the world…

It honestly made me really sad.

I’m especially confused in the context of technology (are you familiar with the historical context of the term “hacker”? serious question!).

Yes: people do things all day every day not explicitly allowed or protected by law.

It's not but who cares at this point when regular people see that the big tech companies commiting the biggest robbery of the century and nothing happens.

Steal a game and you are a pirate.

Steal 1000 games and you are OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/[insert big tech company name here]
