A social network founded by a former OpenAI employee was caught importing public posts from Mastodon...and ran AI analysis to add tags to them.

Maven, a new social network backed by OpenAI’s Sam Altman, found itself in a controversy today when it imported a huge amount of posts and profiles from the Fediverse, and then ran AI analysis to alter the content.

    Don’t we also need a critical mass of people adding licenses to posts? So that a class action suit can be launched. Because it would be inviable and a very rapid path to self-defeat if people started to try and individually sue big corpo.

    Also I’m missing a way to automatically add this to my posts. Something like a browser extension.

        Also for me I’m using a text expander so that after I type a shortcut it automatically adds the rest of the text for me.

        I request of you, show me your ways!

          Well on firefox/chrome extensions you can search for text expander and choose an extension that works for you.

          Or if you are using a phone you can do the same on the app store and I think there should be a few options.

          Once you download one of them it should give instructions on how to use it, but in general it asks you to create a phrase that you want to be automatically triggered and a shorter phrase that automatically replaced with the longer phrase.

          For example-

          long phrase: The quick brown fox jumped over the moon.

          short phrase: /qfox

          and every time you typed /qfox it would replace it with “The quick brown fox jumped over the moon.”
