      People like to act as if archiving has never been a thing until about a year ago at which point it was suddenly invented and is now a threat in some nebulous way.

        If a foreign Dictatorship’s military op wants to know every facet of your life, then you can be damn sure it’s a threat.

        It’s not that it’s a threat, it’s that there’s a difference between archiving for preservation and crawling other people’s content for the purpose of making money off it (in a way that does not benefit the content creator).

          You’re describing capitalism there, bud

        The difference is there is more control in what is kept in the archive.

        We have little to no control over what an LLM regurgitates.

        I’ve been waiting for someone to accidentally surface PIIs from an LLM.
