Carmack is wealthy, and will do OK even if every single software-related job is terminated and human-mediated code-generation is relegated to hobby-status. Other people's milages vary.

My motivations are very different: the projects I authored and maintained were deliberately all GPL-licensed, my contributions to other OSS are motivated by the desire to help other people - not to an amorphous "world."

Correct. And certainly not to people and companies who'd like to use my work to deny end users the rights to control their computing.

That's the whole point of the GPL to me. The code I release is not an unconditional gift. It definitely has strings attached on purpose.

LLMs completely break this. I'm helping very rich people build the systems they impose to the world and that have awful externalities, and these systems help others build proprietary software. I can't say I'm too happy about this.

So, definitely not just for corporations to make insanely massive profits off?
