I'm not trying to win a popularity contest. I'm trying to make a point about ethics that no one wants to hear. Still not one person has addressed any of my initial concerns.

No, that much is clear. What is clear is that you have an axe to grind and have lost perspective as to what is and is not a proper venue for making your point (you're suing, what else do you want to do?), and that your concerns are now a matter of court review so whatever someone here has to say about it (including Sam Altman) has no importance at all.

Ethics have relatively little to do with your complaint, you contend that it should be illegal, that does not mean that it is ethical or not to engage in said practice.

Lots of things that are legal are not ethical and vice versa, but by involving the courts you have made your battleground the legal aspect, not the ethical one.

The one that does not want to hear it seems in this case is you.


So you're saying that because I filed a lawsuit, which for the time being is no longer pending, I should relinquish the right to speak in public about the ethical implications raised by that lawsuit, and that any such speech is "pollution."

All I can say is that I disagree wholeheartedly.

Also, ethics have everything to do with my complaint.


It does not follow that we should consider your defendants unethical because you filed a lawsuit against them.


You just made something up that I didn't say to point out that it "does not follow."


You filed a lawsuit. You suggested that the defendants are ethically challenged. These are facts.


If you're trying to argue that all payments startups, AirBnB and Uber are unethical because they are operating in reasonable but gray legal areas, then you're wrong.

ps you might have more luck pretending that you're trying to win a popularity contest. No one likes lamers.
