The internet kind of sucks right now

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

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.

Oh noes: 1ˢᵗ world problems.
How will we live?The entire world has access to the internet, and it's becoming a problem for everyone.

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.
You could, yes.

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.

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.

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!
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.

What if I want to actually talk to other people, though?
Find another IRC channel.

This implies Discord will not use messages sent to train AI.
It also implies that AI companies have not already setup bots to join and scrape whatever data they can from public discord channels.
Sure it might be against the discord TOS, but that isn't going to stop them.
