Let's pretend the web is young.
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.

A rich world on a twig that fell from a tree into the yard.
This is mostly directed at the social sciences, but not exclusively: Scientific research should have more helpful, tangible goals than just to accumulate knowledge with a few policy implications tacked on at the bottom.
It should cooperate with the communities that are most central to research, and help those at the margins, or those who have the most to lose.
Really, if it doesn’t do these things, what is it for? What makes the research worth funding, and whose interests does it ultimately serve?
