I’ve yet to hear a good argument for why it matters even if they did. I’ve made thousands of comments on Lemmy that are free for anyone to grab and do anything they want with. If I didn’t want people to have access to them I wouldn’t be posting on the first place.

But did they pinky promise?

Won’t train AI on your posts until we reach critical mass of users.

Trust me bro, just keep shit posing on here, we won’t change out “ToS”

LMAO

BlueskAI on the other hand…

Better BlueSky than Twitter, but I hope everyone understands by now that there’s literally no reason to take a business’s word for anything unless they somehow have legally obligated themselves to doing that thing forever. Otherwise you can only trust them to keep doing it for as long as it’s worth it from an economic perspective. I’m not saying that it can’t ever happen that a business acts out of pure goodwill, but only a fool would count on it.

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

“Don’t be evil”…

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 want to add it to a public training set.

Sounds exactly like something that someone intending to train an AI would say.
