- In the quoted tweet, @irldanB alleges OpenAI only needs to strip identifying info from his year-plus of ChatGPT-assisted work—code he calls Millennium Prize/Fields Medal worthy—to learn from and scoop it, and is pressing ahead; he notes a related Anthropic ruling is due by October.
- Reposter @fireobserver32 counters that not turning off "use my data to improve ChatGPT" puts the blame on the user, not OpenAI.
- The dispute centers on default-on training data policies and ownership of user work product.
