"CC signals" is so out of touch its embarrassing
context: https://creativecommons.org/ai-and-the-commons/cc-signals/
POINT OF CLARITY EDIT: the CC licenses are the same as they always have been. The "signals" thing is an unrelated proposed alternative to robots.txt for scrapists to continue to ignore.

@luckytran Also normalize wearing a mask when YOU are sick. I first had this explained to me in Japan in the early 90s when I was traveling there on business frequently. This is such a sensible and prosocial practice.

@davidrevoy @creativecommons from the 4 proposed signals (credit, direct contribution, ecosystem contribution and open), none of them is about forbidding the usage of the assets to train AI😬

@StroomAfwaarts @joepie91 Doesn't have to be "a standing thing". For example, I have trapkast, which I guess is technically more like a small room. Even has the same kind of door as the other rooms in the house.

@joepie91 Or even kastje, the universal word for something that does something and is roughly box shaped - or not.
"You can't just call everything a kast!"
Dutch: *points at thing* kast

Please do not bother responding with things like "you can probably find a broken Pixel for under $100 and then repair it" because then you really have not understood the assignment, and this is completely unrealistic for poorer folks in particular
Are there any Android distributions that work on cheap, easily-available smartphones, and that still try to do the best they can to protect the user's privacy and security, without being absolutist about it?
("Cheap" here means "$100 or under", to be clear)
rowling, actionable (3), PSA
And of course the usual personal safety PSA, for those who need it: you don't post about doing crimes on the internet.
If you want to draw attention to some kind of illegal action, then *at most* you have observed that the action has taken place, by some unknown individual at some unknown time, and are sharing that information with the world. But you were definitely not involved, because that would be posting crimes.

Of course I'll leave the nature of said 'hassle' undefined, I'm sure you can all come up with some creative ideas!

@joepie91 This seems to have worked with Unique Vintage a couple years back. They got tons of, "super disappointed to see you all supporting hate, I won't be shopping here anymore" public comments and then all the stuff was just gone from the site in a week or two.
O...kay. A NATO jet flanked by three fighter jets just flew over.

Nobody MADE you try to steal anything. You did that, because you think you deserve to profit off of completely unpaid labor. You don't get to be angry about what happens next.

And yes, I know some of these get into people directly & intentionally messing with a data model, but it's still really funny to me that these people using stolen knowledge are fucking upset that people would fuck with their theft-machines.
AI tar-pits and Nightshade images are fucking hilarious to me in that, if AI companies weren't stealing to begin with, these things wouldn't be a problem for them.
It's like a glitter bomb package. They did it to themselves.

It's really weird to me that posting your own content online that you never said was okay for an AI to trawl could be considered a "cyberattack". If you just put something out there, knowing that AIs will scrape your website, that is "cyber defense".

Hey, so it seems that most of Rowling's money is coming from licensing deals nowadays. And you can be pretty sure that most of the companies paying for those deals don't believe in Rowling's hateful politics anywhere near as much as Rowling herself does.
Which is to say: if you create continuous hassle and reputation damage for any place that has such a licensing deal, and for any place that stocks the licensed stuff... I bet they're going to reconsider extending those license deals real quick, as it becomes a toxic asset.
