  • I don’t like musk or what he is doing, but I don’t see any mention of OPM data being leaked?

    I did an, admittedly brief, search and couldn’t find anything saying the data HAD been leaked.

    Is there potential? Yes

    Is this a bad practice? Definitely.

    Would I hire any engineer who thought changing prod of a complex system on their second week was a good idea? Fuck no, it’s stupid.

    But let’s not make up fake news.



  • No it wouldn’t have.

    Licensing isn’t 1 sided. You have to have both parties AGREE to the license.

    In this case it’s just text on each message.

    The reason OpenAI was able to scrape the internet largely consequence free is because they never agreed to the ToS of the websites, thus they are not bound by those terms.

    I agree that it isn’t right or morally correct, but legally it’s okay.

    Additionally, by signing up to Lemmy, they grant certain rights and privileges to their instance and others due to agreeing to the license.

    In fact, lemmy could make it easier for scrapers, as lemmy will happily deliver content to your instance, simplifying scraping.
