PewDiePie gets banned twice by OpenAI for using their API to train a local model. The company that scraped the entire internet for free loses its mind when someone uses their output to build something that runs on a laptop. The irony writes itself 💀

🔥 PewDiePie got banned twice by OpenAI for using their API to train his local AI—then turned around and made a better model. Sounds like a win for free speech and hardware hackers.
