For now
Can I get that written in a contract?

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
What’s the problem of training AI with my posts?
Nothing if you do it yourself but someone else doing it without your permission and making tons of money off of it and not sharing it isn’t very cool so this is nice.
Yeah, they should ask for permission, I don’t see the point of not sharing it though, they will only make tons of money if the AI is good, don’t they? I think ChatGPT and some other AIs are amazing and if they want my data for helping it, I would allow it.
“we promise ;)”
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.

“Well, WE won’t train on your data. But this subsidiary company we created on the other hand…”

Won’t train AI on your posts
until we reach critical mass of users.Sounds exactly like something that someone intending to train an AI would say.
Does it?
OK, what would they say if they weren’t planning on it?
IMO, they wouldn’t even mention any concept of AI at all, to begin with. They should carry on as they were already going, without bothering to say anything good or bad about AI. If they’re really committed to not involve AI within their platform, they could even create strict community rules regarding AI content and AI usage, limiting or blocking them. As some would say, actions say more than words, because even parrots and crows can speak… Even LLMs can speak!
okay but they use ai in production for moderation easing and detection, so you didn’t even bother to read why they said this. this whole site is full of fucking stupid presumptuous comments like this because it’s easier to blindly rage.
…for now.
“Bluesky has not been offered enough money to scrape user data for AI”
BlueskAI on the other hand…
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.
