"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Twitter is more egregious than even other big tech platforms and there are major competitors that don't have these AI training terms of services like Bluesky.
Also some people are just slow to change or don't get the news so we have to try everything we can.
BlueSky is neither "mainstream social media", "big tech platforms", or "major competitor".
I agree that Bluesky isn't a "big tech platform", it's not as big as I wish it were but I do think currently it's the largest competitor that's at-least mostly ethical or far better than the big tech platforms. They recently hit a 41 million user milestone. How can platforms can you name with greater than that many users that is not part of what is commonly considered to be "big tech" (Meta, Google, Twitter, Snapchat, and TikTok)?
When BlueSky breaks a billion active users we can have a conversation about Big Tech because there's no way they get there without enshittification.
