So Conde Nast which owns Ars Technica and a big bunch of other web and magazine stuff sold it's content to an LLM miner; predictable. Retroactively. Wow! Including comments and forums (which are prolific). No notice, no choice. Wait what?
I've subscribed for 13 years: well, it was a good run. Cancelled payment.
Oh but wait there's a chaser: Can't delete an account. Not possible. @sjvn for interest.
@sfleetucker @sjvn I used to and thought about that but...alas. Moved.
@b4cks4w Thanks. I'll take a look at that.
@sjvn Ars' story and 915(!) comments as of now. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/08/openai-signs-ai-deal-with-conde-nast/ CN really stepped in it with this crowd.
@b4cks4w @sjvn If you live in CA you have a right to be forgotten, and can force them to.
