They are stubborn and have a lot more legal baggage than Anthropic does. Settling admits guilt…and OAI has a lot of overdue guilt they will dodge until the current admins don’t protect them anymore.
OpenAI's mistake was not deleting the messages about the deletion too.
Really, these are rookie mistakes. You set an internal policy for short retention times and delete everything with few exceptions. Then if anyone asks why something was deleted, the answer is simply "it's policy."
So just like talking to congress: just lie lie lie, keep doing illegal, no consequence.
Every country on earth needs to tell the US to fuck right off with their IP laws, even so much as publicly advertising full free downloads of all US media content. Maybe some real public deals with china to get them to release all manufacturing documents coming from US businesses cover all physical manufacturing, as well as all firmware and any source code they happen to be in possession with. Maybe even just a bit of public dealing hinting to this would be enough for them to consider doing something about the ai companies right?
I wonder if libgen was the turning point of quality that allowed the growth of these companies. Would the creators be happy or sad about that?
Sad as it defeats the purpose and spirit of libgen.
Being more concrete: I don't think they made libgen hoping the content would be used to create an even worse walled garden for knowledge.
Anthropic settled, why doesn’t OpenAI do so? They have more money right?

Settling does not admit guilt, legally speaking

I think your comment is supposed to be a gotcha, but I support killing copyright, so I don't think I'm interpreting it the way you intended.
