It barely even qualifies as a digital commons, if it does. It is a private tool owned by a private, for-profit company. Nobody has a common obligation to make Anthropic profitable or to reduce its expenses.

I never said anything about a public good. See my sibling comment.

The "finite, valuable resource" in this case being "something a private company is actively trying to produce and pocket wealth with".

Again, there is no moral obligation to ensure Anthropic's business goes well and conveniently.
