The interesting thing about OpenAI pleading that they cannot build their systems if they have exclude or license copyrighted materials isn't the fact that "if you can't afford to run your business while complying with the laws you have no business". It's the fact that they believe that creating their stochastic systems is such a good and human goal per se that they can throw it in against all the externalities and still come out winning.

Sam Altman is a cynic who only cares about getting richer and says whatever leads there. But many other people in that space are actual believers in the religion of #AI.

NEW: Apple has removed several VPN apps from the App Store in Russia after the government censorship agency flagged the apps, according to app makers.

VPN makers shared a letter they received from Apple with us.

"We are writing to notify you that your application, per demand from Roskomnadzor will be removed from the Russia App Store because it includes content that is illegal in Russia," the letter read.

Apple, for now, doesn't comment.
