What you have said is all spot on and i agree with this. By not being default what really happens is everyone owns your data (not just you) .People forget

fascinating discussion, somewhat I see that yes you own access control over your data but you make it public and computable, I guess its about data control more than ownership but I would imagine that in the future we would see development where data is also private. Homomorphic encryption is the path
I see what you’re saying and I think semantics is an issue here. You’re saying open data can be scraped and “owned” by anyone, but I would say that it’s being “used” not “owned.” OpenAI could scrape Lens and train GPT5 on my data, and I would consider them to be Users of my data. Since my original data is onchain and I own it, I would consider myself the owner. If there’s a world where asking ChatGPT to “write in the style of Ryan Fox” becomes valuable, I argue the value accrues to the original data, which is owned by me. The Mona Lisa is valuable -because- it’s on tshirts and mouse pads, not despite it. This is something I’ve started talking a lot about recently, actually: The next era will be turning Followers into Users. Own your data. Train AI on your data. Let people use your data. Data ownership is crucial. If you want to listen to LoFi Grimes you can go to a music generator trained on her music which then makes brand new music in her style and is also LoFi. The value accrues to her music. It’s the same as using Microsoft Word to generate new data (documents). Word is a valuable app because it allows people to create new data. Now Grimes’ data and Gotenks’ data can do the same. PC user Internet user Word user Grimes user Gotenks user.
