   Alright, y’all. Follow-up on this poll as promised…

   Creative Commons published it. Afterward they shared their perspective on AI vs CC content. In short, “to get a sense of the various views on this question, we launched a Twitter poll where nearly half of respondents said, ‘it depends.’ We agree.”

   They made some questionable comments about it…

     @markwyner Re 2 - the problem here is that people who run CC are totally unfit to make judgements off the top o their head, driven by their feels about IPR and copyright. They need to shut up, basically. They can have opinions, but not that are the 'legal' position of CC licenses. Thats the worst enshittification of T&Cs.

     First, they liken AI training to open-source:

     “CC is dedicated to facilitating greater openness for the common good. CC thus supports, in principle, broad access and use of copyright works, including openly licensed content, to train AI in the public interest…to ensure sharing ultimately benefits the public.”

     The inherent problem with this is that AI training does not benefit the public. Trained AI is a commercial product. It only serves stakeholders and wealthy tech bros.

     @markwyner "we launched a Twitter poll"

     OK, that was enough for me to conclude the CC team is completely untrustworthy.

     Looks like they're competing with the FSF for who can better betray the users of their licenses... 🤬
