Earlier today I edited my (small) set of Stack Overflow posts to add the sentence "I do not consent to my words being used to train OpenAI" to the end. Within hours, all these edits were reversed and I got a warning email for "removing or defacing content". I did not remove any content. If this small sentence is "defacing", it is a very minor defacement. In no way was the experience of other users made worse by me adding one sentence.

To Stack Overflow, you are not a person. You are "content".

Spot on.👇

It's worth patiently and persistently pushing back against AI hype in your worksplace to try and counter the bubble evangelists
- Generative AI can't do facts
- Generative AI can't reason
- Unless a model tells us what it's trained on, we should assume it's participated in the largest copyright theft in history
- No incremental improves are going to change this

“Your friendly reminder that Zionists have been stealing and appropriating Palestinian history since before the Nakba. Memoricide is real and there is a reason why Zionists destroyed tens of thousands of Palestinian books and historical records and hid others behind closed doors.”

the privileged call violence everything that is a threat to their status quo. those of us outside of privilege call it self-defense.
