Here's the thing. If any of my work is in their model, then I co-own their model as well as everything it makes.

I guarantee it's scraped our work.

So where's our paychecks.

I don't know, and I don't care. Scaled proportionally to actual contribution, it'll be like $0.000001 / year, and I'm not going to begrudge the AI companies for not paying me a fractional cent, and I'm definitely not going to cry foul and demand stopping progress over that fractional cent they plausibly owe me.

Not the least because I'm already getting many orders of magnitude more value each day from them providing me inference as a service.

I'll gladly adopt your disowned share.
