Something that gives me pause (to actually write into a blog) or to put up any toy projects / exploratory code as FOSS is I am not too keen on the idea of LLM companies and similar scraping that for their dataset [1].
Its not really a new problem, scraping the web and similar for monetary profit has been a thing for decades, but it feels worse in some ways?
At least I certainly have paused and had more of a reluctance to making minor things available with no strings attached than I historically have been.
Same goes for writing into sites like HN or Reddit really.
Perhaps that is being selfish, after all there is some value in documenting things for other humans to find out about, maybe time-capsule of a blog is a better fit for this? Although blogging about anything particularly niche / context heavy is likely irrelevant a few years on.
EDIT:
[1] As in not help them even in a minuscule way, anymore than has already been done with them buying / scraping any public content already written.
