Bedlam incoming from the unforeseen consequences of an unpredictable disruptor with broad capability.

The "AI clone wars" arriving soon.

A conclusion made in the article - "these sites are trying to shut their technical gates so others can't gobble up troves of data for AI models to study." Isn't supported by anything. Maybe it's true? But it may just as well be speculation from the author. Is there any evidence to this?

I stopped seriously reading at their personal interpretation of the "Twitter Files."

Some individuals serving in the public sector might want to "control your thoughts" with this new scary technology, but I think that's FUD and you're much more likely to encounter the private sector trying to control your thoughts.

The author mentions how large corporations will be very slow to adopt because of "endless processes and approvals," but fails to mention government bureaucracy. Yet "government" is mentioned in the story twice as much.

I've never seen any good evidence for it, it's just what operators of the sites (i.e. Reddit, Twitter) claim as a justification.

IMO "following the money" indicates their disruptive wholesale access-restrictions are driven by much blander profit-seeking reasons.

I mean, it's known that GPT3 was trained on Reddit data with 3 or more upvotes. The training data is still available to download.
