   My prediction: nothing will come of this, and these investigations will either be concluded favorably or dropped no less than six months after the midterms.

   There's only one voice that matters in this administration, and he has already made it quite clear that he both does not consider AI to be an issue, and he is more than happy to trample over his agencies to enforce his opinion.

      You're right. Nothing will come out of this. It is very important for these companies that they are sued now by the super-friendly administration and be gently punished (Punishment: Don't do it again, Ok? Defendents: We promise we won't do it again) or settled for a measly sum of a few million (no admission of guilt).

      Then you can be never tried again for the same crimes. There is some law against being tried for the same crimes multiple times.

         That's not how that works. If you kill someone and are tried for it, guilty or not, that does not give you license to go kill more people. You can be tried for the same crime if you do the crime again.

         You cannot be tried multiple times for the same instance of a crime.

         Since OAI et al don't appear interested in stopping crime, they can (and likely will) be tried again the next time they do it.

            There is no second entire internet for them to steal though

               Their bot crawling numbers seem to disagree.
