Tech giants upset to find themselves on the short end of the same T&C/EULA stick they've subjected their own customers to for years.

An impressive ouroboros of hypocrisy:

- From treating users like rich ground to be fracked for data.

- To scraping the entirety of the public and private (wherever possible) internet to sell it back.

- To complaining that their competitors do the same to them via distillation.

- Now whining that the few AI companies producing anything genuinely useful (such that they feel compelled to pay for their tokens) are data fracking them right back.

[watwut]

AI companies are even more malevolent then the old guard.
