They built it. They're making money on it. Is that still satire?
They may or may not, what makes it relevant nonetheless is the real loophole and the ethical/legal questions that ensue.
It's good that they don't realize it's satire, the satire is doing it's job in getting people to realize how laws need to change around AI code.
