This was where Larry Page and Sergey Brin started Google a decade previous. Here was the garage once packed with newly delivered servers and routers; there were the carpeted rooms at the back of the house where Page, Brin, and their first employee, Craig Silverstein, churned out code; out the window was the backyard with the hot tub.In Google’s infancy the house belonged to a young couple, Dennis Troper…

In the latest example of a troubling industry pattern, NVIDIA appears to have scraped troves of copyrighted content for AI training.
