unf. DEALING with twitter and bluesky
10 months ago
I just wanna thank ya'll for the responses. I'm gonna try using Glaze and maybe water mark things on bluesky and twitter from now on while keeping normal pics on FA and substar. I know it an't perf but if you guys have any other better suggestions I'm all kitty ears.
So since twitter has fucked over artists by pulling the 'if you upload it we can train it on our AI' bullshit I'm moving to bluesky. I'll be posting on there as well as on my FA account from now on and delete my twitter around the 10th. this is fuckin bullshit man. Corps just have too much control over our lives rn. will be setting up my blue sky tomorrow and uploading art on there.

Twitter's putting up a policy that basically says, "If you upload anything to our website we have free reign to feed it into our or any AI"
While AI grifters might be able to steal your stuff on Bsky, it's not legal for them to do and they don't have an inbuilt AI on the platform
You can see this easily, try to embed a twitter post, then try it with a bsky one.
So while Bsky arent training their own AI, you arent safe from others.
and if i'm not wrong, i think europe has squeezed elon's balls into not doing it for european stuff.
There's nothing special about Twitter/X requiring logins, just as there's nothing special about Bluesky (or FA for that matter). Twitter/X explicitly stated that they're going to train LLMs/Diffusion Models (aka AI) on your posts, meanwhile Bluesky isn't.
Let the blue checks stay mad that people are leaving and let artists thrive knowing that the platform they choose is not going to vacuum up their artwork to copy their style.
bluesky may not have its own ai but it also doesnt restrict overarching ai scraping from people like microsoft, google, and amazon.
it is also ironically much easier to poison art against twitter's ai than others.
