   If I created software that was infiltrating secure systems without permission and it was attributed to me and I admitted it, I'd be behind bars already.

   Why is OpenAI getting away with crimes?

      The entities they committed the crimes against need to press charges. They haven't. So there you go.

         If this were true, the DoJ would have been unable to prosecute Swartz. According to your logic, JSTOR was the aggrieved party. JSTOR settled with Swartz and -despite that- he was indicted by a Federal grand jury like a month later.

         Incidentally, some of the things the DoJ nailed Swartz to the wall for sound awfully similar to what the big LLM providers have been doing. I wonder why the DoJ is entirely disinterested in pressing charges...

         EDIT: Unless your point is that the USG is one of the entities that the big LLM companies have committed crimes against, which, I disagree with in Swartz's case, but strongly agree with in the case of the big LLM companies.
