Uses an AI image on the thumbnail lmao
lol, what was the prompt of that image? “self portrait interacting with a human” ?
Can’t wait for AI to say they can’t even.
Meh. If you’re using any platform for free, assume what you say will be used for monetization.
If you’re using Tumblr/WordPress.com… chances are your content is public anyways.
But both these sites HEAVILY predate AI or LLMs. Which then raises the question, how robust is their ToU & ToS from 2009? Can a corpo lawyer convincingly argue the limits of ‘legitimate use’ as completely unlimited?
Meanwhile they’re harvesting Lemmy for free! Yay!
As a former user this kinda makes me feel weirdly proud. Like I knew the whole time I was releasing the text for free to everyone, I’m not pissed about this getting monetized any more than I was pissed about the ads on Tumblr and (free) WordPress sites.
But to whatever extent my personality came out through my text, I pushed to whatever small degree the subsequent LLMs to respond like me. I’m one small part of the AI just like I am one small part of humanity, but it’s not nothing.
AI programmed using Reddit, Tumblr and WordPress data - along with Facebook and all the other social media sources… Skippy’s attitude makes a lot of sense.
Can we get An AI mod for this sub to filter out reposts?
Isn’t WordPress open source
wordpress.com (the blogging portal) not wordpress.org (the technology that hosts websites for you)
You can either host yourself or create a blog on their site. I’m guessing they’re selling the data they host.
