What it is
Dumbcane Arica (@platatofore) posted (Day 4/30) that in 2026 copper smelters agreed to process ore for a benchmark fee of zero, spot fees went negative, and the same year one big European smelter grew operating EBT 31%. The poster had a ChatGPT Dot work out how both are true and who actually profits from copper. This page restates that user post. It is not an OpenAI statement and not an independently verified case study.
