Why is this taking off but not Mastadon?
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.
Why not? Are my posts not good enough for you Mr Bluesky?
It’s open to the public. So, many other orgs are certainly doing it anyway.
But did they pinky promise?
… for now
Won’t train AI on your posts
until we reach critical mass of users.Oh it will as soon as the investors demand more ReTurN oN iNvEsTmEnT.
Then we leave that platform too. I have zero loyalty. Zero.
I only have it because my family chose that over Mastodon. Mastodon is better.

Lol okay. Sounds good, bro.
BlueskAI on the other hand…
“Well, WE won’t train on your data. But this subsidiary company we created on the other hand…”
Sounds exactly like something that someone intending to train an AI would say.
Does it?
OK, what would they say if they weren’t planning on it?
IMO, they wouldn’t even mention any concept of AI at all, to begin with. They should carry on as they were already going, without bothering to say anything good or bad about AI. If they’re really committed to not involve AI within their platform, they could even create strict community rules regarding AI content and AI usage, limiting or blocking them. As some would say, actions say more than words, because even parrots and crows can speak… Even LLMs can speak!
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 wants to add it to a public training set.
