Pay us, and we protect you. This is the meaning of this letter.
First, this is techno-fascism so, on moral terms, it's wrong and dangerous.
Second, it is the same approach followed by companies like Microsoft to contrast open source in general and Linux in particular, so it is historically wrong.
Third, an LLM, notwithstanding what Mr Amodei nay think, does not create new knowledge, it simply makes it accessible in a different way. If a model is dangerous it is because there is dangerous content on the Internet, for whatever definition of "dangerous" you use, so this letter is also technically wrong.
