Due next for #RedSox:

• David Hamilton (strikeout, strikeout)
• Connor Wong (lineout, single)
• Ceddanne Rafaela (home run, single)

Mal ne Frage an die Mutuals, die zwar oft #Alttext schreiben, es dann aber manchmal/häufig/meistens vergessen: Warum folgt ihr nicht @PleaseCaption ?
Er erinnert euch, wenn ihr in der Eile mal vergessen habt, Alttext zu schreiben und über 'Bearbeiten' könnt ihr diese dann auch nachträglich einpflegen.

Edit 1: Es gibt wohl Plattformen, die keine Edit-Funktion haben? (Warum nicht?)
Edit 2: Wenn ihr eine andere Erinnerungsfunktion habt, seid ihr ja gar nicht gemeint, weil dann nutzt ihr die ja?

It was never about us, was it?

"The amount of pesticide residue allowed on scores of food types in England, Wales and Scotland has soared since Brexit, analysis reveals, with some now thousands of times higher.

Changes to regulations in Great Britain mean more than 100 items are now allowed to carry more pesticides when sold to the public, ranging from potatoes to onions, grapes to avocados, and coffee to rice."

LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool -- they just auto opted everyone in (except folks in the EU, it seems)
I recommend opting out now (AND that orgs put an end to auto opt-in, it's not cool)
Opt out steps: Settings and Privacy > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement (OFF)

We shouldn't have to take a bunch of steps to undo a choice that a company made for us.
Orgs think they can get away with auto opt in because "everyone does it".
If we come together and demand that orgs allow us to CHOOSE to opt in, things will hopefully change one day.

LinkedIn seems to have auto enrolled folks in the US, but hearing from folks in the EU that they are not seeing this listed in their settings (likely due to privacy regulations).
If you're outside of the US, I'm curious if you're seeing this?

Why does opting out of training generative AI models matter? How does it impact folks?

Well, generative AI tools build outputs based on inputs they are trained on. AI tools have a hard time synthesizing new content so allowing AI tools to be trained on your original writing, photos and videos means it’s likely that elements of your writing, photos, or videos will be melted together with other people’s content to build AI outputs (without credit to you).

In short, you may find your original writing, photo, and video content “reused” or “rehashed” by AI, and *sometimes AI plagiarizes writing, photos, and video in their entirety*.

Opting out of participating in AI training is a good idea for anyone who creates original content.
