Logan Kilpatrick is an AI engineer who previously worked at OpenAI, leaving the company on March 1st. Logan served as the Developer Relations Manager at OpenAI, supporting developers in building with DALL-E, API, and ChatGPT.

Ten days later, Logan decided to launch an attack on domain investors, labeling them as "lame" and urging them to give away their .ai domain names for free. He mentioned instructing registrars to register them. Firstly, you don't need .ai domain names to build your AI project, company, or idea.

He also mentioned attempting to sell their names for $30,000. It's uncertain if Logan has been keeping up, but many .ai domain names are priced well above $30,000.

A member of Namepros wondered if he was trying to buy a domain name for a project, which is a personal matter, as he dislikes the $30,000 asking price. Why that number? Why did Andy Booth recently buy Sound.ai for $250,000, just as an example?

He tweeted:

"An interesting question for Logan is: Why aren't AI companies willing to pay for copyrighted content they use as training data?

AI companies have various reasons against paying for copyrighted content

So maybe address your IP issues first, then worry about someone else's digital assets."

Domain registration follows a first-come-first-served principle, and we must respect this rule. Many people, due to lack of foresight, failed to register domain names early, only to find the .ai domain names expensive when they wanted to start their projects. They blame the early registrants for unfair practices. However, in reality, if we are the holders of .ai domain names for our own projects, this does not constitute malicious domain hoarding.
