  I’m not sure you have understood that people don’t want to profit from their data, they want to avoid corporations stealing their private texts and pictures to train models they’ll profit from.

    Is this some weak attempt at gaslighting? If you want to make a career out of this, you really need to up your game. I mean, can you imagine some think tank going: Landlords don’t want to profit from those apartments, they just want to avoid people squatting in them for free.

      Your problem is that the landlord analogy just doesn’t suit this situation.

        Rent seeking is long-established economic jargon. It doesn’t necessarily imply a landlord analogy. A landlord may not be extracting an economic rent within that definition.

        The point is rent-seeking, not an analogy to landlords.
