This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
pretty sure that isn't legal unless the Bluesky TOS allows for this
Either way I'm still glad I don't use Bluesky
Legality hasn’t stopped AI training in the past, I’d say they beg forgiveness instead of ask for permission, but they don’t even do that lol
From the Bluesky TOS:
Bluesky Social is available as a desktop application at bsky.app and bsky.social (each a “Site”) and a mobile application (“Bluesky App” or “the App”).
...
These terms only apply to social networking that happens on Bluesky Social services, including the Sites and Bluesky App. If you’re using another social networking application on the AT Protocol that isn’t Bluesky Social (we call this a “Developer Application”), the developers of the other service will provide the terms and conditions that govern your experience.
So looks like the Bluesky TOS simply doesn't apply. Create a developer application and give it whatever training-friendly TOS you want.
It looks like they're considering adding some equivalent of a robot.txt to express consent or non-consent for posts on ATProto, but of course as they say:
"Bluesky won’t be able to enforce this consent outside of our systems. It will be up to outside developers to respect these settings."
This type of news makes me want to step away from the interner entirely.
I keep noticing situations on social media and wikis were the only way I can frame it now is that it’s just data entry for AI models.
Wish I could. My job has me knee deep in it everyday trying to keep up with all this.
Modern day life over here requires the internet, our government has taken away options that use paper and replaced it with websites. Same goes for banks.
