I didn't read the article. But could it be that every platform is trying to limit LLMs to be trained on their data?
Definitely one reason, but this is also to push premium
Seems like the free internet as we knew it is dead. Any site with free, user-generated content to monetize Is about to try and suck every last dime from it.
The internet as we knew it wasn’t free. We were the product. Here’s hoping their drive to force payment sends us on to decentralized, open source infrastructure.
Fortunately, we have the user-owned distributed internet to move to.
Yep, capitalist greed ruins everything. Which is why distributed networks run by the community are our best hope for the future.
Those fuckers would try to ruin this too, by bot attacks, by trying to cut deals with some of the admins or by running their own versions of Lemmy/Mastadon.
We as a community will have to handle whatever comes next.
We now have the federated interne though, and I think it's got a way brighter future.
They were always going to do that, the squeeze is basically required if you're planning on making a public offering and become beholden to investors.
Honestly a paid internet is better. Just look at the Fediverse. Internet was never profitable. Now the data collection just needs to stop
