As far as I can tell, many of these "motivated communities" organize on Discord (search is garbage, poor integrations, login-gated and invite-only in many cases), and also Twitter/X (now login-gated, API locked down). And beyond AI there are communities and lots of valuable content on Reddit (also locking down as hard as they practically can). I will be 0% surprised if Github locks down their platform, too. It's too soon to tell how much it will pay off, but almost as soon as ChatGPT came out, the obvious strategy of every company with user-generated content is for all the valuable communications, insights, and social graphs of their communities to be proprietary training data for the proprietary LLMs of the future.
