They only say that as a pretext for theft.
Nothing more dangerous really.
Although they are doing pretty much the precise opposite of that. As it tends to be, I suppose.
I hate to use the word sociopath, because it has such a fine point on it, but if you believe there are smart "sociopaths" out there, might they be attracted to AI in general (companies like OpenAI or SpaceXAI specifically)?
Sam Altman raped his sister and assassinated a whistleblower. He's been removed from his last two companies for being a habitual liar (he managed to strongarm his way back into OpenAI of course). He only has money brcause he sold his first company based on fraudulent user numbers.

Hard to imagine people will go work for the plagiarism machine run by a sociopath because of their high ethic and moral standards.

I was describing a "magnet" effect, you're describing a "filter". Interesting.
