Why? When did large companies care about laws? See e.g. Uber, AirBnb.

The only thing government cares about at this point is if information is shared with China.



They care when they get big enough to attract attention from people like state AGs who can actually put the hurt on a bit. Uber and AirBnB both hit this point years ago; OpenAI's starting to hit it.


Altman is part of that Stargate Trump group now. He and his ilk will just get pardons.

Curious, though, can a corporation be pardoned?


The President can only pardon Federal crimes.

State-level crimes (like his NY felonies) and civil torts (like his case where he owes $500M currently) are separate.


Yet. Give it some time.


Sure, but in that scenario, it's a bit like the Last of Us characters being concerned about electrical meter readings. We'll have much bigger problems.
