404 Media dropped a report earlier today revealing that people use Bluesky posts to train AI.
Bluesky published a thread that didn’t directly address the report but discussed its own policy and possible future features, such as appending robots.txt to posts.
Based on the comments of this thread, it’s clear that most BS members don’t realize their posts go to an open index that anyone can access.

Just finished watching Generation Z on channel 4 (UK).
I love Ben Wheatley's work but, for me, this was sub par at best. On paper, and on screen at times, an interesting, if heavy handed, zombie based take on Brexit/Trump boomer selfishness. The reality is it was 2 episodes too long, very repetitive and ultimately unresolved/unexplained, despite the run time.
I don't generally come on social media and slate things but this is, in my opinion, a hot mess and a waste of time. Just warning folks who might get pulled in by the name and premise.
3 episodes in, you think, this is ok, by the end of the 4th you're checking your watch and hoping it ends soon.
