Saying that an entity with the power to make its own laws can use something for "all lawful purposes" is saying they can use it for anything.

It's a bit worse, because in the case of mass surveillance, they can't just make their own law, they need to make that law and have 2/3rds of US states sign off on a constitutional amendment.

Aiding someone while you know they're trying to break the law is conspiracy to break the law. OpenAI is culpable. You can't sue the government in many cases, but you can with OpenAI.

Exactly. And not only can they make their own rules, but they can draft and enforce them effectively in secret.
