Thanks for reminding me of this!
I saw this on fedi a few days ago and forgot about it.

Personally I don't object scraping, but given OpenAI
doing it to mass-launder copyright and its oligopolistic power,
I am open to blocking it server-wide.

Until anyone wants to opt into the OpenAI dataset,
I will set up the firewall to block its IP ranges.

Do note that whatever one puts out to the public interwebs
will eventually be scraped.  A resource could be mirrored
by a archiving initiative and OpenAI could scrape from there.
Other big tech corps are also building their own LLM.
Think of the block more as an act of protest, if anything.
