I'm shocked! Shocked! that academic publishers would sell access to their publications for use by AI companies. Who could have predicted they would try to make even more money on content to which they have been selling people access for years, even requiring that authors sign over ownership so they can make use of it however they want? More seriously: People working for open access shave faced decades of academic publishers being nontransparent while turning academic work into data assets. People who were indifferent to the need for open access have only themselves to blame for the sale of their work by academic publishers to AI companies. Via Ben Williamson. See also Authors Alliance.
