It's... really not. Despite what some people seem to think, most of the 3 billion+ Facebook users are normal people who aren't just posting nonsense or memes.
Their algorithm sure does a good job at filtering those normal people out...
Was "public" ever the default setting? I remember it as being opt-in if you ever wanted something to show beyond your friends-of-friends.
I am very likely in the minority here, but I think AI SHOULD be trained on everything that is in the public sphere. I'd be disappointed if it wasn't trained on everything they had access to. If it is trained on private information, then I would have issue with it.

Maybe that says more about you and how you engage with it than it does the platform though.
It's just such a toxic, manipulated environment... I don't use social media anymore, just text some friends, and am much happier.

On Facebook, public isn't the default, but on Instagram it is. All those billions of photos, including all those famous people: evidently fair game.

Does it? I deleted my Facebook back in 2016 or so when it got so bad. Before that, I used extensions to make it show posts from friends in chronological order instead of whatever it was optimizing for by default (engagement/controversy, I think?)

Funny to think that the distillation of 16 years of Facebook posts is now considered "intelligence."
I wonder how much safety work they have to do specifically because of this. I’d imagine their model might have a fairly paranoid, slightly racist bias if not. Particularly as younger demographics shifted away from FB in the last decade.

Commercial art producers have always ripped off minor artists. They would do it by keeping it very similar to the original but just different enough to avoid being sued. Despite this, I personally know two artists who have sued major companies who ripped off their work for ads, and both won million-plus settlements. Why would we embrace this now that a computer can do it and there's a level of deniability? I don't understand how this benefits anyone.
