I’m actually fine with it, in the case of Lemmy this is all public data, whether or not Lemmy admins are training AI on it, there is nothing to stop me from training my own AI models with this data.

I think the larger issue is I don’t consider it “your data” once you put it on one of these sites. As soon as you take your own thought and put it on facebook/instagram/reddit/whatever, it’s now theirs, it lives in their databases, and frankly for a social media company it’s probably their most valuable asset.

No one is forcing anyone to use social media, if you want your thoughts and actions to be your own I would recommend not putting them on the internet.

I don’t see the issue with this, don’t give your data to companies if you don’t them to use it. No one is forcing us to use these services, if you don’t want twitter to train their AI off your tweets, then don’t tweet.

I pay for YouTubeTV, and to be honest it’s basically Cable, expect it’s over the internet, I don’t need a set top box, and I can watch it on my TV/Phone/Laptop, whatever.

So when I hear people say “cable”, I really think YouTubeT, Live Hulu, or other similar services…

If a flag is on the right side of your body (or in this case car) then it’s reversed otherwise it’s normal.

The U.S. flag appears backward on military uniforms when worn on the right side, so the canton is assaulting forward. This reflects the image of the American flag flying in the wind, the blue union field always moving forward to symbolize the bravery and commitment of military service members.

They’re quoting Blind users though, Blind is a cesspool of silicon Valley tech bros. It’s often just a dick measuring contest between FAANG workers about who makes more money.

As a tech worker in rhe U.S. we are definitely not being exploited. I’m all for unions but we’re doing just fine.
