This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mark Zuckerberg bragged about his vast library of content, which includes all your posts, reels, and comments, during Meta’s earnings call Thursday.
“We estimate [this] is greater than the Common Crawl dataset, and people share large numbers of public text posts in comments across our services as well.”
Zuckerberg’s braggadocious claim about Meta’s very large dataset comes shortly after The New York Times sued OpenAI over intellectual property.
But Meta is pulling an old trick out of its playbook: extracting as much value out of Instagram and Facebook users as humanly possible, and totally owning your online self.
Without any grand announcement or notice to users, Meta has essentially claimed ownership of your public social media profile and will use it to generate billions of dollars.
Book publishers and news organizations understand how valuable this data is to AI, but social media users, once again, are being thrown to the curb.
