Mmm, if you read about cartel prices you'll see that it's inherently unstable since there is incentive for any one member of the cartel to cheat, driving down prices. That isn't a loophole around the theories around monopoly pricing. What tends to confound are government laws and regulations, like IP law for example.

Re. OpenAI et al, they actually work with the US government to help shape the regulatory landscape, and interestingly enough since Google jumped out ahead they are now pushing for a lighter model. I imagine Google is pushing for heavier regulation since that tends to be their M.O.

Also I don't have anarchist economics - anarchists don't believe in property rights or markets, and they certainly don't understand economics. And I certainly don't put any stock in what right leaning American politicians or their courts think or say.
