What's with the obsession of paying for what led to current situation? Who is paying credits to cyanobacteria for terraforming Earth, apart specific articles on the matter?
This is conflating care that every human can thrive their best with desire to see everyone bound to some dominance strategy of hieratic pissing territory.
That's a self created problem and quite an obvious one at that.
When peoples livelihoods are copied then used to threaten them with their work being rug pulled then shockingly enough people's behaviour changes.
Previously giving your data was treated as relatively harmless or a niche concern. Now people are treating it as a bigger issue and obsessing over not having data being used to train AI.

This would have more merit if the owners and investors of major AI companies suddenly adopted a philosophy of rejecting private property and capitalism. That way I could believe we can let go of this "dominance strategy of hieratic pissing territory".
But if they don't, and they merely try to convince us that we should let go of the obsession with owning things and getting paid, I'll be suspicious. People who own a lot telling others they shouldn't worry that much about money and owning things.
