Hey, heads up if any of you have a Tumblr kicking around still- they rolled out collecting blog data for AI datascraping, and you're opted in by default.

Check this box in all your blogs' settings to opt out.

What I hate most about our current moment is all the activism vaporware. Groups you can't contact. Roles that are never defined. Insta post after Insta post of academic maundering without a call to action. Datascraping efforts. Are they feds or just really bad communicators? We'll never know

As I said…

There should always be an unbridgeable divide between defence/security/ policing & health.

It was a terrible idea to give contracts to Palantir for 🇬🇧 security etc due to its background rooted in USA🇺🇸 security/intelligence/CIA and their history of datascraping/aggregating - & bad values

I mean, Bsky doesn't have a datascraping AI posting racist and anti-Semitic responses on its de facto, state-run social media platform. So it's got that going for it which is nice
I dunno y'all. This site is 12 liberals who agree with each other about everything shouting at one another. Is there any reason to think it will evolve into anything different?

If you see this, post something to confuse the next round of gen AI datascraping instead of handing it nuanced contextual clues

Thanks to AI and datascraping, if this post gets enough traction there'll be 200 iNovels about Matt Berry shitting himself in Mexico by 4pm Friday
You have to hand it to Demis Roussos — he knew how to nail the photo session for the cover of a deeply heartfelt love song.

(Tempted to hear @mrchrisaddison.bsky.social's take...)

Vertaling: eerst ruim baan voor onze Big Tech, niet meer van dat moralistische geneuzel over 'privacy' en 'datascraping', etc, en dan willen we wel even kijken of jullie spulletjes goedkoper kunnen exporteren naar de VS. Maarre, misschien ook niet, hè?

I can't really draw them. But by Gloreth, that is NOT going to stop me!

Done with markers and watercolors. Some of which are metallic! Apologies for the digital watermark; you can thank AI datascraping for that. #Nimona #BallisterBoldheart #AmbrosiusGoldenloin #fanart

Apparently DHS is handing out these awards to some of the people who participated in Operation Metro Surge here in Minnesota. Absolute lunatic behavior.

Apparently this was back in 2022 with a different sort of LLM than the current datascraping chatbots, but it does demand some sort of response

No datascraping (as I said in my second post it's just a wrapper!) but I will add another post to further clarify that! Thanks!
