There are a lot of files in this new dataset that have made me feel this way.

I’m still making my way through DataSet 8, but this is some vile shit.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

New from 404 Media: Bluesky may have said it won't use user data to train generative AI, but someone else just published a dataset of million Bluesky posts for "machine learning research". Already very popular dataset, your data may be scraped www.404media.co/someone-made...

Fascinating stuff.
A high-resolution dataset of roads of the Roman Empire, this study claims to have identified thousands more miles of Roman roads than were previously known.

homie what dataset you from
Oh word? You’re ready to throw down a hard difference between logic and statistics?

An employee of Huggingface, a site of AI training datasets, made a dataset of a million Bluesky posts scraped simply because they could. It’s currently trending: www.404media.co/someone-made...

I didn't consent to have any of my work added to @danielvanstrien.bsky.social's ai dataset, and I'm pretty sure most of you didn't either. www.404media.co/someone-made...

By the way, the way some white disabled people are responding to this thread by acting as if the N word isn't itself a disability issue for Black people is a great case in point of how it is taken as a given that Black people must simply tolerate everyday racism as the price of being in public
After I heard about the incident a few hours ago, I spent some time reading about N-word tics and intrusive thoughts and what I came away with was a feeling of deepened anger about the way white supremacist society has associated “Black person” with this word so it’s there, in people’s brains

i do just actually love that this site is crawling with "people who have a favorite CDC dataset"

Releasing: a dataset of two million Bluesky posts.

This dataset has been collected using Bluesky's API, and I hope it will be useful for all the researchers out there!

This is actually a fascinating “cost of labor in the tech sector” dataset…
Meanwhile on Hellsite, who knew all the Elon bots were Nigerian? 🤡

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

lol I fucking knew that little shit wasn't to be trusted.

Avoid the new Vine like a plague, they just want a pure dataset to scrape.

they're putting me in the dataset

The original cache of DataSet 8 (with the incorrectly redacted files) has been added to @ddosecrets.com
So for some of the Epstein docs they highlighted in black and then forgot to “print to pdf” which would have effectively flattened the formatting and stopped text being recoverable, but here we are.

Surprising how many of these discoveries appear because some human already put them in the dataset.

Wait, no. Not surprising. The other thing.
Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc
Did Anthropic’s A.I. Really Make a Scientific Discovery on Its Own? (Gift Article)
An expert at the University of Copenhagen said his team had been sharing its research with the company’s A.I. model, Claude, and that its new finding matched their work.

If you are sufficiently racist, or just bad at your job, or usually both, you can produce a dataset that tells you all sorts of nonsense in a quantitative manner. That doesn't make it true.

Then you feed that dataset into a robot. Guess what, you made a racist robot.

An AI researcher that wants to stop big tech owning everything was permabanned here for releasing a dataset of 2M posts.

A librarian received death threats for a 1M post dataset.

The EU funded the creation of this dataset of 235M posts months ago, and… nothing?
