>But it’s deeply concerning to me how many people who supported an open internet and the fundamental principles that underlie that have now given up on those principles because they see that some AI companies might benefit from an open internet.

AI companies are violating copyrights. Their bots don't respect robots.txt and are crashing servers. They're very well funded in doing all of this, and nobody is enforcing the law.

Once again, we can't have nice things because of bad actors. We aren't walling off the open internet, they're just ruining it.
