AI’s Unpaid Debt: How LLM Scrapers Destroy the Social Contract of Open Source (www.quippd.com)

TL;DR: The big tech AI company LLMs have gobbled up all of our data, but the damage they have done to open source and free culture communities are particularly insidious. By taking advantage of those who share freely, they destroy the bargain that made free software spread like wildfire.

Can you more succinctly express your point, it got a bit muddy at the end. Are you saying they stole the least potent bit? And if you have the spoons could you elaborate?

Not "stole", rather supported. Like authoritarian governments might support the least potent youth political group of those existing, as a spoiler.

There's pluralism of respect and values, one might notice that FOSS doesn't really have much of that. It's pretty authoritarian. Just people think it's meritocracy and shouldn't be otherwise.

The longer I live, the more I think today's tech is a dead end.
