Market fundamentalism is what happened.
Information wants to be ? How naive.
Information wants to be commoditized, but that process is amoral unless I am getting a cut as a rent seeker.
If I am getting paid then it is just a form of darwinism and to think otherwise is to be anti-science.
If someone else is getting paid then obviously whatever we are talking about is a great injustice.
"Information wants to be free, as long as it's not my information."
"...and as long it's created by a human."
(Because I feel proponents of generative AI appear to play the "info wants to be free" card as well.)
