I remember a guy about 3 years ago trying that grift with images. Went nowhere because the images it flagged as the “source” looked nothing like the generated images. In music, it might be more successful. Marvin Gaye’s estate showed the way.

Hmm. What are the chances that they manage to sneak such a fraudulent scheme past courts or lawmakers?


I don’t need an incentive to be truthful. I don’t know why someone should misrepresent readily checkable facts.


Is that clickfarm your moneymaker? jfc


YSK that this is a) ragebait farming you for ad revenue and b) disinformation.
In the FT article referenced, there is no mention of open source.
Neither on his LI, which has a free access link to the FT article: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kent-walker-5963bb198_google-warns-eu-against-erecting-walls-activity-7428100995995398144-I9Ac


I heard that the reason why no one uses the ID card option is that the privatized post office lobbied the government to make it so expensive as not to compete with their service.


That may be part of the reason they are doing this. There’s a noticeable push for more regulation and enforcement.


You never want to know how the sausage is made.


When I saw a model trained on DOOM 1-2 years ago, I didn’t think this would be going anywhere. I have to admit, I was wrong. Now, the amazing potential is obvious.


Genie, quit livin’ on dreams

Oh. So that’s the same tom as in atom.
Oh come on. Going all the way back to PIE doesn’t count. Like, both has to do with insides. But enterology does not inherit the suggestion of entry, which would have been funny.
Etymology note: The word enterology does not seem related to the word enter.
@TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works You made me look this up.
There are also people who can’t distinguish between entomology and enterology.


No offense. I just never know how widely understood such facts are. People do not seem to appreciate that open social media requires that the data be stored anywhere.


That’s something that may cause some grief in Europe. Moderation in ATproto is opt-in. You don’t have to subscribe to a US moderation service or any moderation service. One will probably want someone to filter spam, harassment, or content that one finds objectionable. But moderation according to EU regulations is about removing content that other people don’t want you to see. I’m not sure if that’s going to be super popular.


how the data is used and stored
That’s a tricky one and will potentially cause a lot of problems to open social media in Europe. Just know that there is no such thing as “looking” at a post, comment, or profile. It gets downloaded to your device and stored for as long as it’s needed, or maybe longer.

The company Bluesky Social PBC created the microblogging service Bluesky and the ATProtocol. It’s like the company Mastodon created the microblogging service Mastodon. There are other services built on ATproto that are EG like Reddit/Lemmy. But these have not taken off significantly.
The ecosystem is mature enough so that you can participate in Bluesky without using services offered by Bluesky Social PBC and without making sacrifices. For the most part, you can move without abandoning your account.
It is true that the servers are mostly run by the Bluesky company, but so what? Email is mostly run by Google and no one seems to think that’s a problem.
This is about GDPR. A German court recently made a similar judgment wrt TikTok, but that is being appealed.
