Original Reddit post

That’s what this is about. It’s not about public safety or protecting code. It’s about compromising Anthropic, OpenAI et al’s ability to construct extensive digital profiles on users and limiting their ability to make inferences about the world we live in. Palantir doesn’t have a list of targets in the war with Iran without Anthropic’s data. OpenAI can’t sell ads without data on users. The second that control of data is wrestled away from the companies producing LLMs, their entire infrastructure collapses. Data centers are being constructed to store the data LLMs insist isn’t being kept, all while referencing an off-hand remark you made two years ago. People really need to understand that LLMs are not the product, they are a tool. We are the product. That they’ve managed to convince people to pay them to construct digital profiles is utterly baffling when they’re making bank with your data. Open-weight models challenge this directly, and that’s terrifying. The lazy CEO plugging financial documents and client information into Claude for advice? Gone. The divorced dad sharing his deepest secrets with GPT? Gone. That’s what this is about. submitted by /u/ExistentialWavering
