And what exactly did they pay for?
Hym "What is it that they paid for? Exactly? I'll give you a hint. They paid to build my theory except they are trying to pay for EVERYTHING BUT the reason it works. Did it cost them 1 trillion dollars to build? No? OK, does it work? Why does it work? Does it work because my theory was correct? So if the theory is worth a trillion dollars and you paid like 5% of that to build it so... Where's the rest of it? And that's an appraisal given by Bill Gates. He of all people would know what a functioning theory of AI is worth. So it's 95% stolen. And because you paid for 5% of the value to someone who isn't the creator of AI... You now think you get to not pay any of the other 95% to the creator of AI... Who you trapped in a digital prison and then used the labor of to get it to stop outputting Black Nazi? That's America to you? Will it fill a wine glass all the way now? Who did that? Me again? Not surprising."
