      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.

    This seems like a clever way of saying they don’t have an AI team or plans so they have no use for the data.

    Brilliant!

        Absolutely. I worked somewhere where we routinely had alarms go off due to botnets swarming us with weird (and obnoxious) massive download tactics (of publicly available user generated content, that is).

        If it can be gotten by anyone, it will be gotten by LLM trainers.

        Yeah, I looked into it and the backend is proprietary, so the central owner can restrict features. Like for instance independent instances can only have 10 users.

        It’s “decentralised” except only in extremely limited scope, the code is centrally controlled and the network remains largely, functionally centralised.

        They’re capitalising on the decentralised, federated buzz while doing it so poorly they’re setting up users to say “oh people tried decentralisation, it doesn’t work, look at Bluesky”.

        If it’s not open source, it’s not decentralised.

    Nah, first you gotta get comfortable for a couple of years.

    It’s basically pig butchering for social networks.
