I think this shows how @linuxfoundation@social.lfx.dev is not necessarily on our side.

"GitHub’s leadership team will now report more directly to Microsoft’s CoreAI team."

Another step seemingly in the wrong direction as the AI-happy CEO jumps ship.

【LEAKED: A New List Reveals Top Websites Meta Is Scraping of Copyrighted Content to Train Its AI (Including Many Fediverse Instances!!!)】

"The tech giant is sidestepping guardrails that websites use to prevent being scraped, data show, in a move whistleblowers say is unethical and potentially illegal."

Confirmed, Meta has scraped my content for their AI. I have not given them permission to do this, at the same time, I did not explicitly prevent them from doing this. So I am sure by some stupid lawyer’s definition, they can use my content for whatever purpose they want.

F that.

If they want to do that, then the whole notion of “pirating video” or music, or software, or anything else that ends up in the public domain is right out the window.

On the bright side, #socialbc does not appear on the list.

#Meta has scraped content from tldr.nettime.org for their AI. It’s one of ~100,000 top websites reportedly used to train Meta’s proprietary AI models.

betanet does not have me too convinced rn.

there needs to be a slightly more abstracted and simplified explanation of the protocol, hard to see the interest in this when it's either a vague manifesto or overly technical jargon.

like what are the actual principles behind the way it's written and structured? there needs to be some actual comparison between this and other protocols (http, tor, i2p, fucking gemini or gopher or whatever the fuck)

also i'm getting that gut feeling that i get from any massive ambitious project that aims to fix everything forever.

not putting too much faith into it at the moment.

the internet itself is inherently decentralized, the problem is that the ecosystem has largely centralized over time to a few big players

not only does this not address that in any way, it introduces more problems by introducing a blockchain-style governance system vulnerable to 51% attacks

this "betanet" thing just looks like a massive grift
