This is my last post on the matter:

Vtubers, artists - if by chance you see this...DO NOT post much/at all on BS 🦋, ESPECIALLY if the reason you are doing it is over X/Twitter's Ai TOS changes.

I have talked about it on my yesterday stream but I will post about it for posterity.

I am noticing an number of Vtubers and artists who are announcing that they are "migrating" to BS 🦋, and the reason most of you cited is over the Ai policy announced.

It is a fair concern, no doubt about it. BUT if THIS is the reason you are moving to BS 🦋...I will be blunt with you.

You are shooting yourself on the foot, multiple times.

It is at least MANY TIMES easier for your posts and art to be taken by Ai when you post on BS 🦋 and I will tell you exactly why.

There are Ai ranging from Meta's, Nvidia's Apple's and countless other less known Corporations...

As you are posting and arguing online right now, or writing a reply to me saying I'm wrong - they are scouring the internet...whether it be Danbooru, Pixiv, Deviantart, etc - grabbing any art and any post they can find to train.

So long as you post there, you are helping their Ai's whether you like it or not. BUT, there's a limitation.

Firstly I want to shoutout @TheLegalMindset for succinctly and clearly making an important point. These Ai primarily only have access to content that is PUBLICLY viewable.

Which means the working way right now to slow down or prevent your content from being scraped...is to wall it. Whether it be Patreon paywalls, Misskey complexity-walling, or in X/Twitter's way...sign-up walling.

You go to a completely new browser and enter X, and there's a big screen stopping you from seeing ANY post. You have to create an account, sign in - and then you have your content. As it stands right now, there is no known conceivable way for external Ai to bypass that restriction to scrape data.

But in contrast you go to BS 🦋- the very moment you type in the address or click the link. ALL the content is available to you for viewing...no holds barred, no restrictions.

Which means all that content is available for countless numbers of Ai's from countless numbers of Corporations to scrape from. Vtubers and Artists gleefully keep posting on BS 🦋give it to them on a silver platter without knowing any better.

A Data-scraping buffet.

Also, one more thing I would like to tell you all - a little inconvenient fact. Say what you want about Elon or this site - at least X TOLD you to your face that this is what it is doing. It actually had the baseline standard to seek your consent.

Meta Ai by contrast, whistleblowers, media and even government had to FORCE Zucc to tell everyone what they were doing. Otherwise, you would ALL still be in the dark, even me.

And remember also, because X/Twitter is a LOCKED Social media until you sign up - for now only GROK conceivably is able to use your data, no other Ai can touch the site just yet.

So what is it do you want Vtubers, artists? The harsh ugly truth, or a beautiful lie?

If the main reason you are migrating to BS 🦋 is due to this Ai issue. I will be honest - you are ignorantly self-sabotaging yourself.

You willingly, with a smile on your face, left the sauna to enter an oven. You have ensured that even MORE Ai can take your content, and you think you are doing such a great service to yourself.

Well, either you are really being naive, or you are clout-chasing. Which is it?

I know for a fact my take on this matter is far from the most popular or engagement-bait one, but UNLESS I am provided evidence in the contrary - this is the facts and the truth the way I see it.

Lets not all also forget that every Anti who sends threats and harassment to Artists and Vtubers who were chased of X/Twitter, mostly moved to BS 🦋.

You haven't met the antis yet, but you will. Growing number of JP artists are getting banned on that site already and have returned to this site to complain about it in fact.

Ok...my point is.

This is not a dig on any of you Artists/Vtubers - this is my warning to you about bandwagoning, for something like BS 🦋. I cannot stop any of you from choosing not to take what I say seriously, and to continue using that site.

But remember, what happens to you - whether the next generative Ai has sampled your artstyle, or a large crowd of Antis drive you off the internet without anyone supporting you.

Its on you.

This new Twitter ToS update is concerning to me.

They've added lines allowing content posted to be used in AI training models specifically calling out allowed use in generative AI. The image on the left is the previous ToS from October 9th. The image on the right is the new ToS from October 16th.

This platforms best use continues to be for shitposting.
