Maven, a new social network backed by OpenAI's Sam Altman, found itself in a controversy today when it imported a huge amount of posts and profiles from the Fediverse, and then ran AI analysis to alter the content.

The wildest part is that he's surprised that Mastodon peeps would react negatively to their posts being scrapped without consent or even notification and fed into an AI model. Like, are you for real dude? Have you spent more than 4 seconds on Mastodon and noticed their (our?) general attitude towards AI? Come the hell on...

People can complain, but the Fediverse is built to make consuming user’s data easy. If you don’t want AI using your data, don’t put it on such an easily “scrapable” network.

Yeah, and girls dress for rape. They are just aaasking for it!

I will go off on a tangent.

Just because something is online it does not mean I give a full green light on anything.

Fuck this noise of social parasitic networks hammering free service therefore pay with data into everyone's skull. And everyone posts crap.

It is a billion dollar business. LLMs are extracting millions and will generate more.

You know why? Because worthless shit you post online is not worthless after all.

Yes, you are reading it right. Pay me. Pay us.

Before anyone ridicules this. Yall be defending billion dollar corporations, staffed with millionaires below C-levels.

People should start demanding money from these greedy assholes.

ITT people not recognizing that there’s a difference between comparing and equating.

People, it’s possible to make analogies to more serious situations without saying the two things are equal. The statement above is saying it’s there’s a shared mentality, not a shared level of consequence/seriousness.
