      I don't have children. My legacy is running 37 Quora accounts that each answer niche questions very incorrectly, over and over.

      37 quora accounts, you say? It's a long shot, but does the name Nel Croissant mean anything to you?

        What stops any domain host from selling us out tomorrow? Why single out cloudflare?

        Holding your own certs and constantly reviewing your and your users threat models. Cloudflare's excessive control comes from them being a proxy.

          Discord is one of the greedy AI companies training on your data

          Even if Discord wasn't doing it, public Discord guilds are known to be scraped by a number of different bots. Previously, it was for spies, cops, and private investigators who wanted to search for messages by username. If those bots could do it before, AI bots will be doing it aggressively today.

                Counter offer: Be a huge nerd and hang out on Lemmy instead.

                You'll probably be scraped by AI bots anyway, but we have penguins and Star Trek memes. And knives.

                      Am I the only person who doesn't care if people 'scrape' my 'knowledge?'

                      That's the whole point of putting something online. So anyone can look at it. I'm not about to get petty about who has access and who doesn't.

                        Does the rest of the world have enough fucks to spare for this over their real problems of hunger, war, disease, poverty, violence, illiteracy, toxic pollution, human rights abuses?
                        Despite their real-world problems paling in comparison to online bullshit, will they live?

                          After instilling division, fascism, and maybe even war, I'd say there's a chance they do not.

                            Everyone should be forming real-life groups on discord, be in cells, be part of several, everyone should be linked like chain mesh.

                              Slippery slope: none of that necessarily happens.
                              As with any tool, it's up to the users.

                              What we know for sure is that these are modern nuisances for people who live relatively amazing lives, so they just make shit up to be upset about.
                              Other people have real problems.

                                  Poison the well? .... this is like saying we should poison a vat of rotting chicken blood.

                                  Human knowledge and human interaction is already shit to start with ..... AI learning from us will only produce an authoritarian psychotic intelligence that will see us humans as an enemy to fear and destroy .... just like how we think of anything or anyone different from us.

                                    The left path is better because if you adopt some privacy hygiene when using the internet, you can be more sure that these AI companies won't scrape your sensitive info. Whatever data they scrape from places like here is going to be meaningless. Even if the AI is trained on your Lemmy posts, so what? People are here for the community and the people who want human experience will seek it.

                                      This implies Discord will not use messages sent to train AI.

                                        You can save a bit of money by using sandpaper on your feet and aging the dust a bit.
