    100%. First stealing content from creators and pirating TBs of books. And now this. Baffles my mind that these labs can just get away with their 'rogue' agents trying to hack into other systems.

    Imagine if a human did that. FBI would be knocking on their door.

    Why are there zero consequences for these labs?

      Because they are seen as at the forefront of the next revolution in society and they’re not adversarial towards the US government.

      Bluntly: anticipated net huge positive for the US as a whole.

        not adversarial in obvious ways

        but they are literally trying to build a superpower that exceeds the impact of the atomic bomb in an extragovernmental manner.

          Yes, it's a Great Power competition right now, much like the Space Race, Atomic Bomb, etc.
