   The title is editorialized but conveys a key point made by the OP: Many execs at OpenAI knew that using the work of every author on earth without permission would be perceived as unethical, so execs were worried about this information getting attention in forums like HN. My understanding is that HN has millions of visitors who never log in, many of whom are highly educated individuals in positions of influence.

      And at least a few poorly educated folks in positions of insignificance, like myself.

         Of course... "many of whom" is not the same as "a majority."
