Extremely well-said.

Also, it's important to point out that the one that empowers people is the one that is consistently punished far more egregiously.

We have governments blocking the likes of Sci-Hub, Libgen, and Annas-Archive, but nobody is blocking Meta's LLMs for the same.

If they were treated similarly, I would be far less upset about Meta's arguments. However it's clear that governments prioritize the success of business over the success of humanity.
