How would you build this (which costs both infra and human time to build and operate for the collection of knowledge) to only have every commercial entity soak it up for private gain?

It would be swank to have something like Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, etc where you could compound returns on teaching the system, but someone has to pay for it, and lots of folks don't want their work (free or otherwise) to just go into Big Tech or AI Startup valuations and returns. Novel training data is precious, and democratization of generative AI outcomes is not a function of time, but of effort and resources.

I was considering creating a data cooperative - democratically owned and governed by its members. To ensure sustainability, revenue could come from AI companies and other stakeholders paying for data access, much like how news publishers are compensated today. What do you think?

Solid foundation, you could be a better version of what Reddit is trying to do. I wish you success.
