So I'm seeing some random artists, mostly leftists, making a bluesky account - something about X using their data for their AI or some shit.
It was always in the fucking TOS but somehow they're surprised that it's being openly disclosed? What the fuck is going on? Someone give me the lowdown.
Twitter announced that they are going to be using any images uploaded there for AI generation. What people fail to recognize is that bluesky (where everybody is leaving too) also allows for AI scraping I believe.
If you're posting literally anything on the internet it's going to get AI scraped, same as how everything gets scraped by webcrawlers that build search engine results. People are retarded if they think they can post stuff online and not have other people copy it and then proceed to do whatever the fuck they want with a locally saved copy of said thing. It has been this way since the days of Geocities and, God willing, it always will be.
Yeah the phrase "The internet never forgets" used to be significant, anything you post could be saved and reposted later. It's just self-important artists who think they "own" the pixels they arranged and that means nobody else should be able to download it and upload it anywhere else.
