@mnl @sam I'm familiar with the roots of the phrase, I just think it's being misapplied in this context (and, again, information doesn't want anything. It has no agency. What do people want?)
I was paraphrasing Doctorow's Information Doesn't Want to be Free, which I think is a pretty great text and I would love to see updated for the era of the LLM.
