US AI companies trained their own models on vast amounts of copyrighted and publicly available content without obtaining permission. There's no moral high ground here.
It's very bizarre. It's the first thing you learn about in materials engineering, in any mechanical/aeronautical engineering degree. We even made our own carbon fibre models (some with intentional defects) and tested failing them at my Uni.
I even get worried about cracks in my road bike. These guys are going 3km+ under water... It's insane.
I was lucky enough to fly first earlier this year on a BA 747 to Dubai (Avios reward flight). I was sat in the 2nd row, but the seat is not that close to the window which makes it hard to benefit from the angled windows. It was cool, but not as great as people make it out to be.
