Attempts to muster and legitimize the ownership, squandering and sequestration of The Commons are growing rampant after the recent successes of generative AI. They are a tragic and misguided attempt to lesion, fragment and own the very consistency of The Collective Mind. Individuals and groups already have fairly absolute authority over their information property -- simply choose not to release it to The Commons. If you do not want people to see, sit or sleep on your couch, please keep it locked inside your home.
