Comment on X/Twitter has updated its Terms of Service to let it use Posts for AI training
SpeakinTelnet@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoI’m not anti-AI but the movement is highly against mega corp scrapping personal data as well, not just open scrapping.
As a simple example Co-Pilot has been under heavy fire from the anti-ai community for a while now due to the usage of open licensed code without attribution.

But it won’t matter, because a mega corp scraping data is going to put it into their TOS and literally zero percent of these people are going to get off Twitter or Bluesky or whatever big website that has an exemption to whatever law is passed to stop the scraping of data.
The only groups who will suffer will be researchers, open source software builders, and pretty much anyone who isn’t a corporation already.
There’s literally no solution to this that will end with everyone being 100% happy, but keeping the open internet open and continuing this idea that has pretty much persisted from the beginning of the internet, that whatever you put out there is fair game for viewing, is ideal compared to the alternative.

I take issue with literally zero percent.
How many of us came here over the reddit debacle? I can tell you for certain it isn’t zero.

Yeah, I shouldn’t have said “literally zero”, but considering how small our community here is compared to Reddit, or Mastodon compared to X, it is, arguably, functionally zero.

You’re most probably correct and I was just being overly pedantic.

Researchers were required to use opt-in databases long before they trained AIs. It may be less convenient than taking someone’s data without consent, but it’s also more ethical.
