  Not gonna stop your knowledge being fed to an AI.

    Is there an actual way to stop it? I don’t think so. At least, moving to the fediverse would stop any particular corporation from having the monopoly of it, prevent reddit-like abuse of power, would give users more power, among a few other things.

    what about instances that need you to be logged in to view posts and require authorized requests for federation?

      All it needs is an account to access troves of training data?

        That should be manually approved

      That defeats the purpose of a knowledge base. The whole reason why everyone is using SO is that you don’t need an account to access it and it’s fully indexed by Google.

      The real question is why the fuck are people ok with Google indexing SO and not OpenAI? Doesn’t make any fucking sense.

        Because Google is free and OpenAI isn’t. It’s one thing to take free content, index it, then allow anyone to access that index. It’s another thing when you take free content, index it, then hide that index behind a paywall.
