Die @EUCommission hätte vor einem Monat einen Bericht zur Verhältnismäßigkeit der freiwilligen Chatkontrolle vorlegen müssen. So steht es im Gesetz. Das hat sie bis heute nicht getan. Auf Anfrage sagt die Komission, der Bericht soll "in den kommenden Monaten verabschiedet werden". Doch in zwei Wochen sollen die EU-Staaten die verpflichtende Chatkontrolle auf den Weg bringen. https://netzpolitik.org/2025/internes-protokoll-daenemark-will-chatkontrolle-durchdruecken/

There are some accounts which tend to post to my instance, mirror on another instance and then also post the same thing on bluesky, which then also gets bridged. This is especially prevalent if you follow some hashtags like #opensource

Is there any way to only show one post or do i just have to block the mirror/bridge accounts?

"AI companies claim their tools couldn't exist without training on copyrighted material. It turns out, they could — it's just really hard. To prove it, AI researchers trained a new model that's less powerful but much more ethical. That's because the LLM's dataset uses only public domain and openly licensed material."

tl;dr: If you use public domain data (i.e. you don't steal from authors and creators) you can train a LLM just as good as what was cutting edge a couple of years ago. What makes it difficult is curating the data, but once the data has been curated once, in principle everyone can use it without having to go through the painful part.
So the whole "we have to violate copyright and steal intellectual property" is (as everybody already knew) total BS.
