   I should find a better word than "stealing" to express my objections to LLMs, as I hate the perversion of copyright into "property." The problem is about undermining labor, not the incredibly strange idea that you can plant a flag on a pattern of bits and declare that you "own" them.

     @xgranade To me the issue is that they're externalizing costs onto us whilst no longer sharing their audiences with us. The quid pro quo has significantly broken down!

     I'll second "enclosure', since on Google/OpenAI/Microsoft/etc's terms the status quo is that its no longer a broad audience who benefits (and profits) from our writing, but a handful of tech giants.
