Volume difference with older crawlers?

Right now they seem rich and powerful enough to dominate that _other_ oligopoly that was rich, powerful and corrupt enough to extend copyright laws to 70 years after the death of the author (lol). That's apparently achieved through a combination of forced "partnerships", buy-outs and other nasty arm-wrestling.

A big part of this is that the AI evangelists have managed to sell the political elite on the idea that AI is the next big thing, so whichever country dominates AI will gain untold economic, political, and national security advantages. That gives them a plausible, actionable threat to relocate to whichever country does the most to make AI development easy: providing them with access to resources needed for massive AI data centers, letting them scrape copyrighted content as much as they want, etc. The copyright cartel is powerful and is already an economic engine, but they can't plausibly promise to let their host countries rule the world, so the AI industry is coming out on top.
