I’m kind of ok with this? I’ve written and had book chapters and research articles published. I never thought I was in any sort of position to restrict access. Publishing is about getting it out there. Attribution might be an issue, but that is a separate conversation and perhaps dealt with, if possible, by having LLM’s cite sources more accurately. I have not kept up with the latest on LLM’s and licensing, but I’m curious: are scientific papers accessible to LLMs? Honestly, a bigger societal loss in my view is publishers like Elsevier restricting LLM access to research articles, rather than being too permissive. I could not care less if Elsevier makes a little bit of money in the process.

>Attribution might be an issue, but that is a separate conversation and perhaps dealt with, if possible, by having LLM’s cite sources more accurately. hand-waving it by "oh just have corporations promise they will cite their sources, honor system" is the easiest way to not have corporations cite their sources. Plus if these corporations are so gun-ho about how "we don't store your data in an LLM", that wouldn't be a trivial matter anyway. >a bigger societal loss in my view is publishers like Elsevier restricting LLM access to research articles, rather than being too permissive. it's only a bigger loss if you think the knowledge will be proportionally handed down to society. Which it rarely is.
