Won’t train AI on your posts
until we reach critical mass of users.…for now.
“Bluesky has not been offered enough money to scrape user data for AI”
If the AT protocol allows public access to content, they can’t create a proprietary training set. But the content is available for anyone who wants to add it to a public training set.
To be fair, “they” could probably train AI on Lemmy data, they just won’t ask for permission and won’t be charged for it
AI is 100% being trained using Lemmy.
…at the moment
Can I get that written in a contract?
They also said it was decentralized which is not true.
I don’t believe this.
Bluesky is VC backed. They’ll want to make money down the road, and they’ll definitely train AI soon if not already.
It’s open to the public. So, many other orgs are certainly doing it anyway.
The same can be said of lemmy, mastodon or any publically accessible forum
Absolutely. I worked somewhere where we routinely had alarms go off due to botnets swarming us with weird (and obnoxious) massive download tactics (of publicly available user generated content, that is).
If it can be gotten by anyone, it will be gotten by LLM trainers.
The API is so cheap someone is going to do it anyways…
That’s my biggest issue with AI. Now all the APIs want me to pay to use them. Originally the API was an incentive to get engineers to build features for their sites without having to pay them. The engineers get data they need to build their thing and the company providing the API gets free product features and user acquisition. It was mostly a fair trade. Now the companies see a few other companies using that data to train API and make a fortune so their reaction is to charge a fortune for the API. Totally disregarding the previous arrangement. If you are an engineer working on something unrelated to AI you are basically shut down from using any APIs that provide useful data. Everything is locked down now when it once was open. It’s so sad. It makes learning more restrictive
Nah, first you gotta get comfortable for a couple of years.
It’s basically pig butchering for social networks.

“Don’t be evil”…
I don’t get it. They were rich beyond most people’s wildest dreams. Why did they jump aboard the enshitification bandwagon?
They want to be rich beyond EVERYONE’S wildest dreams.
Why else?
More money
Lol okay. Sounds good, bro.
