they're pretty up front about it. They want to gatekeep knowledge so they can monetize it and control the labor.

    I don’t see any gate here though. Knowledge remains available through old fashioned means.

    But they don't want it to remain so. They want to their agents to be used as educators in place of traditional education. Look at what Google just announced for Gemini answers to start fully replacing actual search results. They want to be your only sources for information. Then they can make sure it's the information they want you to have, rather than an unbiased source of actual information.

    Yea of course people would like to be able to charge you for the air you breathe. That doesn’t mean they are or even could. I have a hard time imagining how Sam Altman is going to block me from gaining knowledge through other means.
