Can I get that written in a contract?
For now
…at the moment
There is zero reason to believe this to be true.
Yeah, I remember when Reddit promised similar things…
Oh it will as soon as the investors demand more ReTurN oN iNvEsTmEnT.
Then we leave that platform too. I have zero loyalty. Zero.
I only have it because my family chose that over Mastodon. Mastodon is better.
But they’ll have stragglers just the same as any major social media site. Even though many here have standards they won’t easily abandon, there are scores of people that won’t even know if/when AI started being used on the site or would care enough to leave if they did.
Plus every time we leave a platform we need to find or build a new one. The time it takes to get others to migrate and develop into a worthwhile community is hard to predict and it may not even work out. It sucks social media is such shit anymore, but it seems inevitable that it will remain that way given the landscape of the Internet at this point.
I say this as someone who’s drifted from Fark to Digg to Reddit to Lemmy over the past 20-25 years 🎈 (zero loyalty as well)
It’s a Public Benefit Corp structure, so legally investors have very little power.
Until they restructure the way OpenAI did.
…for now.
“Bluesky has not been offered enough money to scrape user data for AI”
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.
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.
“Well, WE won’t train on your data. But this subsidiary company we created on the other hand…”
Or one of our 12675 carefully selected partners

Won’t train AI on your posts
until we reach critical mass of users.They also said it was decentralized which is not true.
I don’t believe this.
well there’s a protocol but everyone is on the main one, i don’t think theres even a non personal instance.
Bluesky is VC backed. They’ll want to make money down the road, and they’ll definitely train AI soon if not already.
Maybe the VC’s are dying soon and they wanted to do something useful with their exorbitant wealth before they die
Funny!
Lol
