That was wild, yeah. Social media sites shouldn't lock down APIs because it's all user generated and LLMs should be given free reign to harvest user content for their own proprietary ends?

I guess I can agree that these two ideas aren't fully contradictory, but there's a lot of friction between these two conceptions of user's rights to their content/data.
