Source piece → - Sam Altman
The people who built the disruption are now litigating its ownership while students try to escape its blast radius
Source piece → - OpenAI

Source piece → - Phoenix Ancient Art
Both expose the structural lag between wealth accumulation and the institutional frameworks meant to check it, whether tax code or acquisition ethics.
Source piece → - Brewster Kahle
