When Stewards Go Astray:
A pair of recent controversies around the tech-publishing giant Automattic raise an important question in my mind: Do we have to worry about the future of WordPress? https://tedium.co/2024/02/28/wordpress-automattic-tumblr-controversy/

electranyx,

@killyourfm @tedium @taylorlorenz great article. I wish the author didn’t refer to blog posts as data. They are works. When someone pirates a movie they aren’t accused to stealing data, they are held accountable for the value taken which can represent hours, years or decades of effort. Reselling blog posts for training LLMs is stealing lifetimes of people’s work.

@electranyx @killyourfm @tedium @taylorlorenz While I understand your concern, data is more inclusive of information you may be sharing that may not neatly fit into the “creative work” realm. Think, for example, the comments you make, or the metadata you produce from your usage habits.

I think in this case, a broader term is necessary to capture what LLMs actually take.
