I agree, I think a majority does because of attitudes and behaviors towards sharing copyrighted works generally. There has always been a loud and "righteous" opposition though. I do find the vibe in online discussions different this time around compared to the file sharing discussions 20 years ago, ie more pro-establishment but I think that's a broader trend. Edit to add: copyright as a moral right has no current bearing on AI training, the current question (ie in lawsuits) is whether or under what circumstances such training violates copyright, not about the morality.

I feel this is due to HN becoming more mainstream, which is generally pro-establishment. Some smaller servers in the Fediverse still have the old anti-establishment, anti-copyright, wild west vibe of the old Internet.

  Many in the Fediverse are aghast at the idea of some large corporation reading their data, processing, and using it; and seek to protect Meta (and others) from consuming it. Yet, without copyright on the content they publish they have no legal standing to say "no, you don't have the right/license to be able to do what you want with my content."
