    So making access to information free is helping scientific progress? Wow, who could have imagined that!

          To be clear, here is what I mean by rent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking

          Seems to be mainly about property owners not getting enough rent.

            I’m not sure you have understood that people don’t want to profit from their data, they want to avoid corporations stealing their private texts and pictures to train models they’ll profit from.

              Is this some weak attempt at gaslighting? If you want to make a career out of this, you really need to up your game. I mean, can you imagine some think tank going: Landlords don’t want to profit from those apartments, they just want to avoid people squatting in them for free.

                Your problem is that the landlord analogy just doesn’t suit this situation.

                  Rent seeking is long-established economic jargon. It doesn’t necessarily imply a landlord analogy. A landlord may not be extracting an economic rent within that definition.

                  The point is rent-seeking, not an analogy to landlords.

                    Precisely, and rent-seeking is what’s not happening here, as nobody is looking to profit. People are only looking to keep their private information private.

        Free papers = free access to information

        LLMs = trash

          The AI haters I’ve seen really hate free access to information. Well, there’s apparently other kinds.
