>kind of enthusiastic about just taking stuff from those who have it, considerably more than the current understanding of private property (or even taxation) considers acceptable.

Funny how you can use that description for how AI companies used everything for training data.

Can you? If the government decides to take another grand, that's money I can't use. If I publish a blog post about why I hate videogames, and an AI company trains a model on it, I still have my article, I still have the same number of people who could find it and care about it a particular amount. Maybe some of them will forgo reading my article because they got the same thing from the LLM, but the description of these two actions is not nearly the same. This is why intellectual "property" is a metaphor. Economists call this a nonrivalrous good. IP law seeks to make such things more rivalrous, FBOFW.
