alt Hacker News> Tips, tricks, life hacks and other expert techniques will once again be jealously guarded from the prying eyes of the LLM who would steal their competitive advantage & replicate it at scale
I've already started thinking this way, there's stuff I would have open sourced in the past but no longer will because I know it would get trained on. I'm not sure of any way I can share it with humans and only humans. If I let the LLMs have the UI patterns and libraries I've developed it would dilute my IP, like it has Studio Ghibli's art style.

It's worth questioning the underlying assumptions. It's humans - all humans - that benefit from LLMs. I see a lot of people having this attitude, but I can't help but see it as really being about seeking credit instead of generosity, and/or Dog in the Manger mindset.

Same here.
I no longer post photos, code, or pretty much anything other than short comments on the internet.
I'm not going to do free work for trillion-dollar AI companies.
I do, however, find it interesting to watch AI destroy the whole "content creation" industry.
All of the "creators" and "influencers" and "I wanna be a YouTube star when I grow up" people are all going to have to look for real jobs soon.
I've seen in the newspaper that there are real companies paying real money for fake AI-generated "influencers" to flog their products.
Why pay dollars to a wannabe, when you can pay pennies to an AI corp?

Could you publish under AGPLv3, so any AI users with recognizable patterns from your code can get in trouble?
