   Now, everyone is so furious about OpenAI stealing a beloved celebrity's voice. But what about the many artists, writers/authors, and creators whose copyrighted works OpenAI stole to create works resembling and replacing those people's products? Not famous enough to generate the same outrage, right? At least now, everyone knows how bad Sam Altman is. He thinks he is above the law. I'm glad someone is standing up to this bully and I hope something good come out of it.

     @nixCraft I’m impatient for this whole bubble to go the way of crypto. Bring on the congressional hearings and court cases and restore some sanity to this insane end stage capitalism grasping hype bubble.

     @nixCraft I was considering this morning; that some small law office could specialize in AI-related IP theft and probably win a few cases.

     Events happened so far:
     1. First, Sam approached Scarlettl, and she refused to work with him.

     2. Two days before the GPT-4o launch, they contacted her agent and asked that she reconsider his offer.

     3. Despite not receiving a response from Scarlett, OpenAI proceeded with the product launch.

     4. When Scarlett's lawyers asked for an explanation of how the "Sky" voice was created, OpenAI deleted it from its product.

     5. His response to press or outrages: https://x.com/haydenfield/status/1792748249272795348

     I don't believe anything will happen to Sama legally. He received a considerable amount of money from Microsoft and has many powerful friends unless governments decide to control this situation. We all have to live with this madness and hope karma will catch up with him one day. It is hopeless situation. </rant>

     @nixCraft suuuuure. Mediocre computer game is able realtime change sound of characters voice but most powerful AI lab has to stop it completely instead of tweaking it.
     Sam probably also never heard of phrasing and other parameters of speech 🤔

     @nixCraft I don't think theres more "outrage" here. Just more hope that this could mean consequences of some kind for OpenAI. But I'm a dreamer...

     @WagesOf It's the same here. Sam knows nothing will happen to him because of his powerful status. This time, he was caught red-handed with proof. He underestimated Scarlett Johansson, who can afford expensive lawyers. Most artists can't even pay rent time or afford food. This is a sad reality.

     @nixCraft until Sam is sued into oblivion for stealing basically every copyrighted work in the world he is, literally, above the law.

     It would be nice if the law proved him wrong, but I am not holding my breath.

     @nixCraft The rights she has in her voice are fairly clearly established and very valuable by themselves, unlike any individual author's. And her legal team beat Disney.

     @nixCraft I guess Sam Altman used to bully women in bars too.
     Hé would not take No for an answer.

     @nixCraft So unsurprising. Like Uber, these AI folks are modern pirates. And pirates aren't the nice people that kids shows make them out to be.
