it's no longer a theory. google paid millions for spirit airlines' emails and internal messages to be used as training data for their AIs.

Google already had the machine, this was just feeding the machine. 99% of companies do not have this machinery in place and probably wouldn't know where to start.

		Yeah: Spirit Airlines didn't become ultra-awesome with the power of all its "data", it went bankrupt. I'm not sure on how much of the flight/sales/maintenance data is being used, versus simply a big archive of emails and support calls.

		Probably by emailing google, meta, OpenAI, and Anthropocene, saying you have a dataset and asking if they'd be interested.
