I wasn't aware companies could, by fiat, declare certain publicly available endpoints private, thereby compelling everyone by force of law to pretend they don't exist.

They can. Now you know.

So, if I create a cat GIF API, but announce that it's a private cat GIF API only I am allowed to use, I can sue anyone else who uses it to retrieve a cat GIF?

They are providing a service, we pay for it, and they reinvest in improving the service. That’s the basic business practice.

I think you missed the memo of the comment. They were referring to the fact that everything ChatGPT is built on is other peoples work. Beyond the actual building of the model details, there is nothing that ChatGPT owns. All the content they use to train, all of the art they use to train. Everything is stolen/used without permission. Obviously there is more to it than that, because you published it on the internet. Bu…

Everything that anyone has ever built is built on the works of others. This is how we progress as a species. The entire reason why the internet is so revolutionary is that it allows for permissionless innovation.

This litany is already getting old and it's just 2 month in.

All intellectual property is inherently stolen. Just let it go.

In exactly what respect is it illegal. Keeping in mind that "not complying with a corporation's policies" is not the same as breaking the law.

Assuming that those third-party services are ones that the public can access via their own web interfaces, such that the only thing unauthorized is the manner in which the APIs are consumed, this would seem (unless I am missing more specific precedent) to fall out of CFAA coverage as a result of the Van Buren v. United States decision.

What part of "private API" is the one you don't understand? We could elaborate.

People have gone to prison over guessable GET parameters

Is the gas in the car you parked publicly really yours ("private") if there is a way to siphon it out? Just because there is a way to obtain a resource doesn't make it yours automatically..

No real world analogy applies when the service is publicly accessible via the internet.

If you leave a door open to your garden or house, can I come and chill without asking?

If we enforced intellectual property rights that harshly, nothing more complex than a 6502 would have ever been made.

I am in no way suggesting that it is wrong. I do however feel this level of "built upon the work of others" is different.
