It's open to the public. So, many other orgs are certainly doing it anyway.
Won't train AI on your posts ~~until we reach critical mass of users~~.
Lol okay. Sounds good, bro.
Trust me bro, just keep shit posing on here, we won't change out "ToS"
Oh it will as soon as the investors demand more ReTurN oN iNvEsTmEnT.
Then we leave that platform too. I have zero loyalty. Zero.
I only have it because my family chose that over Mastodon. Mastodon is better.

BlueskAI on the other hand...
"Well, WE won't train on your data. But this subsidiary company we created on the other hand..."
Or one of our 12675 carefully selected partners
If the AT protocol allows public access to content, they can’t create a proprietary training set. But the content is available for anyone who wants to add it to a public training set.
Sounds exactly like something that someone intending to train an AI would say.
Does it?
OK, what would they say if they weren't planning on it?
Better BlueSky than Twitter, but I hope everyone understands by now that there’s literally no reason to take a business’s word for anything unless they somehow have legally obligated themselves to doing that thing forever. Otherwise you can only trust them to keep doing it for as long as it’s worth it from an economic perspective. I’m not saying that it can’t ever happen that a business acts out of pure goodwill, but only a fool would count on it.

"Don't be evil" ...
... for now
I don't get it. They were rich beyond most people's wildest dreams. Why did they jump aboard the enshitification bandwagon?
They want to be rich beyond EVERYONE'S wildest dreams.
Why else?
Public trading... it's capitalism. By law you have to try and extort every penny.
Now that I think about it I'm not sure why they had to accept investor money at all. I wonder if it would have turned out differently if they had remained 100% privately owned?
Because growth... Without the R&D money, Microsoft or Yahoo, or someone else would have figured out how to do what they do faster/better, waited until google was a forgotten name and then enshittified.
When you make a lot of money, the number you see in your account starts to become part of your identity because it differentiates you between you and the people you see every day. The same way if I had blue curly hair, that would become a defining factor of where I “differ” from the general public. The numbers in one’s account becomes an obsession-point.
People get obsessed with the number and how much bigger they can make it. It’s like hoarding. No amount will ever be enough. And once you’re able to buy anything, the actual value of that money becomes meaningless. So even more drive to bring the number up because that’s the only novelty you are getting.
That and power.

"Tres Comas is for winners." (A wonderful line delivery by the huge asshole venture fund bro in Silicon Valley, that illustrates your point)
