Did an American court just destroy all American AI companies in favor of open weight Chinese models?
No, because users don't care about privacy all that much, and for corporate clients discovery is always a risk anyway.
See the whole LIBOR chat business.
afaik only OpenAI is enjoined in this
Correct, but lawsuits are gonna keep happening around AI, so it's really a matter of time.

Like, none of the AI companies are going to avoid copyright related lawsuits long term until things are settled law.

For now. This is going to devolve into either "openAI has to do this, so you do too" or "we shouldn't have to do this because nobody else does!" and my money is not on the latter outcome.
It's part of preserving evidence for an ongoing lawsuit. Unless other companies are party to the same suit, why would they have to?
Sure. But this means the rest of the AI companies are exposed to such risk; and there aren't that many of them (grok/gemini/anthropic).
