alt Hacker News> they're looting it so they can make a profit
If they're making a profit, it means they're providing a value to customers. In the case of LLM - the value is reducing the friction of accessing knowledge. The knowledge was there all along, but the friction of access too great to generate surplus value.
It is backwards thinking to propose that we are worse off by enabling access to knowledge.

If they are making a profit.
But that's right, the side effect is that it reduced friction. The most benefit I get from LLMs when I treat them as search engines.

Like Alaric, Temujin, Teach, and Burham!
You can justify any manner of unethical behavior if your bar for ethics is "they're making a profit"
