I hate to break it to you, but you have to wait for a specialist in US as well. Months is also a quite typical wait time.

And even if you're on a princely healthcare plan - you're still out several thousand dollars for an ER visit.

I had to upgrade my 2021 iPad 9gen to a newer model to actually make is reasonably usable.

So I am not sure about recent track record for Apple.

My 2021 Pixel 6 works well for my mother and is getting updates.

Even being stored in EU doesn't preclude your data from being targeted by signals intelligence. Which is different than requiring US based companies to provide non-US data to American government.

You seem to think that AI companies sell you content, which is false.

You get a service. The service is using their compute power to run a model and their scientists to build the model.

Long story short - publishing houses are venture capital firms.

Most of their investments fail miserably, but they only need one Google/Stephen King.

Since we're on the criminal side - what criminal statute would apply to Anthropic? And what criminal statutes were used for the cases we're supposed to compare to?

Infringement is a civil lawsuit, with financial punishment only.

Maybe because Anthropic isn't actively facilitating copyright infringement?..
