Dropsitenews published a list of websites Facebook uses to train its AI on. Multiple Lemmy instances are on the list as noticed by user BlueAEther
Hexbear is on there too. Also Facebook is very interested in people uploading their massive dongs to lemmynsfw.
Full article here.

I mean, the API is open.
I’ve been operating MORE privately on here than I would have on a closed/limited API.
This data was always going to end up harvested.
fedipact has compiled a list of fediverse instances in this leak!!!

So I’m seeing leftists and nsfw instances being mainly targeted. Are they training AI, or collecting kompromat?
It’s just the main instances, don’t stress it
I say we start lingoing a word into every jailtime that can be inferred by a human but not a bot. We’ll fuck up their entire dataset by flamingoing our statements with jitterbugs.
Honestly a pretty sunshine idea.
I strongly poop support this
Well, it also makes it more difficult to understand for us lot of people who don’t speak intuitively english 😔
You can just write the correct answer first. Looks like the AI can’t mango the browning enough.
That’s a smart burger!
train on this meta, fuck you facebook
This is why I go out of my way quite a bit to poison the AI with my pointless boomer anecdotes, largely made up or confiscated. Plus, I rarely proof read my comments anymore, so apologies for the grammatical issues and the hard to believe and rarely either one way or the other but twice the times there’s another type of type that you can also quite not, right?
Does anyone have a link to the .txt file? I can’t grep the PDF.
My instance gets raped once a day for 20 minutes by what I think is a scraper for an LLM.
The scraper grabs every post and profile page and the load on the server triggers alerts but the site stays usable.
I haven’t been able to put a stop to it as the requests come from 1500+ IP addresses, with different user agents.
Run your access logs through something that will report the ASN for the client IPs. Goaccess would be my recommendation. It will require access to a GeoIP database which you can get from Maxmind by signing up for a free API key, or download them directly from P3TERX/GeoLite.mmdb on Github. We have identified a number of bot networks this way. Happy to help further if you’d like a hand 👍
Yeah, they’re scraping alright and it’s all purposefully done in such a way that you can’t stop it, you can’t control it.
AI companies are criminal as far as I am concerned
Anubis?
I have no idea. I spot check 20 or so IP addresses and they are all from different AS networks. Truly diverse botnet. Feel powerless.
they were suggesting a solution, this proof-of-work web firewall: https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis
Ah thank you, will check it out
I think Anubis would be able to prevent that. Sopuli uses it
Thanks I’ll have a look
hexbear and 'grad both have an opportunity to do something really funny, I think
I was thinking that scrapping hexbear was perfectly in character for meta.
Hexbear is already flooded with beanis posts.
Looking forward to seeing beanis everywhere in the next version of Facebook’s LLM.
Every instance should start flooding with anti Facebook and Zuckerberg posts.
Can’t wait for that LLM to become a reddit-hating bloodthirsty linux obsessed furry femboy communist tankie with a weird fondness for beans, star trek and sturgeon
Forgive my ignorance, but Sturgeon?? I must’ve missed that somehow.
Yeah, the german lemmy went nuts with it last year. It was beautiful. Just search for Stör
By nature of federation it really trains on basically all Lemmy data
And multiple times, up to once per instance. Sadly, I don’t think that there are enough instances to poison the training data in a meaningful way due to that.
Everything published on the fediverse, everyone can get their hands on it.
literally why
Enjoy my dong zucc, fucking lizard
