To anyone thinking about joining BlueSky, especially artists: everything you post is sent to a third party for AI labeling.

BlueSky uses AI to label content for moderation, and to do that they use a company called https://thehive.ai. If you look through their privacy policy, you will see that they can use content sent to them to train models for all their services, which include generative AI for both text and images.

@FluffyDeveloper Darn... even in other socials artists are exposed to AI... the net sucks nowadays :c

@digslogic94 yeah :(

Nothing stops people from scraping Mastodon as well, but at least it’s not a built-in function x3

@FluffyDeveloper @digslogic94 At the *very least* we aren't implicitly consenting to being scraped in some bullshit terms of service (that hopefully wouldn't hold up anyway). That's a pretty sad silver lining, I know...
