Screenshot of a tweet from Suraj Sharma saying, "Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird. The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free. Al companies turned all of it into products worth billions. And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable. We built the library. Someone else started charging admission." To which another person "fractally" replied (on Tumblr), "This has been my main argument against "Al" from the very beginning. OpenAl scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us. And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this."

A person stands on a green grassy hill under a clear blue sky. The hill is dotted with yellow and white flowers. In the distance is a purple mountain. It would be a very serene scene, if it weren't for the fact that there is a giant hole in the sky; jagged-edged, like a broken pane of glass. Stars show through the hole. The person is holding a slingshot, staring up. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
