It would be unfortunate for xAI, which abused the TOS of OpenAI for distilling via user accounts, to get a ruling that forbids scraping via user accounts.

The entire business model of the AI industry, who resell and launder the scraped data, would collapse.

Nitter just makes it visible to a human and has anti-scraper measures necessitated by the thieves like xAI.

Additionally, a GoFundMe would reach astronomical proportions given how unpopular Musk is.

Latter is probably a factor, because merely being right doesn't mean you won't run out of money while defending yourself from lawyers

  • While true, parent comment's first point (that the plaintiff would be unwilling to make the winning argument) would have an impact on their ability to spend the defendent to death. Judges do notice when you don't have an actual argument.
