Not to make a false dichotomy out of this case but it is worrying to me how OpenAI presents itself as a crucial force for humanity's technological progress and then justifying its blatant copyright infringements when doing so (with some people believing the bs). Yet the Internet Archive, with far fewer resources, seems to do a better job of storing and eventually helping in advancing knowledge while fighting tougher copyright battles.
And unlike with OAI, I don't find myself questioning the Archive's motives every other day.
That's what hype does, I guess.

OpenAI's big promise is that it will allegedly yield some society-changing technological development someday. As most, Internet Archive promises to not lose what we already have.

I'd replace at most with at _least_. Archiving is the minimum that they have promised; what can be disseminated when, to whom, how, and for what purposes is unsettled business, clearly.
