Like, it's very easy for anyone to check the numbers! And there was a long decline after last spike, perhaps longer than might've been anticipated, but it's been absolutely steady/minorly up for a month straight now: bsky.jazco.dev/stats

This is great and I'm bookmarking it to share with folks. Thank you.

I appreciate and respect the distinction and am fully in favor of purely opt-in, and hope that the law will ultimately back that as the clearly only legal option. So then is this open weights model based on such consent? Or is it nonconsensually trained? If the latter, how is that justified?

Also, isn't "open source" broadly regarded as a misnomer if it only means "open weight", not transparency re: training data?

And yet you partnered on this, which I assume is based on mass copyright infringement/theft?

Oof. No excuse to work with them.

As someone else pointed out this isn't general ChatGPT/OpenAI use, this is specifically API calls

Ok fine I accept that students aren't making API calls lol

Ah got it, this is just openrouter?

And not just OpenAi's model use--that shows "total tokens processed" dropping by ~12% week to week there. Maybe that's natural variation, I'm not familiar with the historic data, but could make sense in terms of schoolkids.

Why would that be so specifically precipitous two weeks later? Doesn't the academic calendar thing, or a combination, make more sense? I guess with that in mind, what did it look like in May/June of 2024?

Why do you still have that AI slop image up?

Well played on this particular slop image :) I think this is much more popular than one against the crowd though (I mean obviously on bluesky, but in general too in my experience)

Why are you not only posting but then immediately REPOSTING an AI slop image?

This is an AI image...

There should be legal consequences, though I don't know how to mesh that with "one-party recording" state laws, which obviously have some vital positives.

Do you really think setting up a spam bot to reply like this will sell your AI slop book?

Furs Not Mine Check out Furs Not Mine - The poems in Furs Not Mine display Andrea Cohen's masterful craft and lyricism and her keen wit. In Cohen's elegiac shoals, we see how "Great griefs are antidotes / for lesse...

It's not even that I imagine they WOULD use or allow its usage; it's just I feature poetry and I refuse to feature anything new from a press that doesn't at least privately guarantee that (publicly would be much better and it's baffling why every press doesn't have a robust public commitment by now)

They're the only indie poetry press that, over the last couple of years, has refused to even privately make a commitment against generative AI usage.

Ugh, I am so excited to read it, yet so frustrated with Copper Canyon.

Autophile - by Dylan Garity I wrote this short story in the summer of 2022, before the full popular rise of current chatbots and image generators and other plagiarism machines.

Published a short story about that a few years back, though it ends in a specific terrifying conflict as a result of artificially generated relationship communication than in silence and separation. Really wish it didn't keep being relevant: dylangarity.ghost.io/writing/

Lol uh-huh, bot. Which line was that?

Not like a humanoid robot, just an android phone with Gemini obviously, because that’s basically a person right

Psh not jokey enough, this is why you need the bot! “Hey babe, 15 minutes late, luv u lmao”
