    If we hit these AI companies with targeted suing, like how Scientology got their way with the IRS, maybe we then they can listen to not steal our shit.

    The MPAA and RIAA have created all these laws and used our own government againat us. Maybe we can use these same laws and do the same.

      Maybe we have some bias on this topic, but I had the same thought. Maven is such a well known tool in IT, that I’m surprised they just created a social network with the same name. Until they get a bit famous this won’t be good for SEO.

    I wouldn’t have a problem with all this scraping, if these companies had to release their models trained on this data as open source.

      That’s a great idea. Can we not apply a license to that social content that forces AI models trained on it to be open source?

        That’s actually pretty good. And then they’re open to getting sued when caught.

        I guess it could be done on an instance basis, although I’m not sure how happy fediverse users will be if their instance has an official policy of open-sourcing (or maybe it’s public-domaining?) all their content by default.

          Well, such a license could just obligat to open source the AI model that has been trained on it. If the instance prohibits training of AI models, or allow it, would be a separate condition that’s up to the instance owner, and its users can decide if they want to contribute under that condition, or not.
