    81.7 terabytes of books
    (‘more than’, but we’ll use this figure)

    ➗ divided by ➗

    1 mebibyte per work
    (the samples of digital novels i used here to estimate size per work were around 500kb each; i took that and doubled it)

    ✖️ multiplied by ✖️

    $250,000 maximum fine (per infringement)

    🟰 equals 🟰

    $19.48 trillion maximum fine.

      A fine like that will last about as long as it takes for Donvict FElon to sign an order making training AI fall under “fair use,” unfortunately.

      Or, just as likely, the individuals will be the ones found responsible rather than the corporation.
