For those concerned and yet to click the link: he’s expected to be back on stage by Wednesday and has received scans, so it appears to be no major concern, though of course not quite minor either.

Weird, I didn’t see that. fingers crossed it’s a bluff lol

Say you’re from California on the form and it’ll change what you have to enter. You don’t have to put in an address or verify CA residency.

Including the opt out link in the announcement article is a good guy move on the writer’s part. Thanks, Kate. You’re a pal.

My misunderstanding. But it looks like you need a .org to self-host WP, and like 99% of WP-built sites are .com as far as I’ve seen. I definitely do not know the technicals about different ways to host/build on the same platform, so I certainly defer to you there, but in any case, my bet is that any site/platform that gets scraped indiscriminately will lead to a lot of circular AI training.

Not sure, especially since they compare it to the Squareapace deal which I believe is for all sites built on the platform.

I work in marketing, and every client I work with who has a WordPress website is using AI to write a lot of their content. This is going to lead to circularly trained AI for sure.
