David Coveney Can we get clarity on what the WordPress Firehose does within the context of data sharing for AI and other companies? It’s enabled by default if you install JetPack. But let’s face it, the siren call of getting a bit more money for freely provided content, without thinking too much about ethics, has always been there with Automattic, ever since the spam sites on wordpress.com many years ago, then the practice of putting ads on wordpress.com blogs but hiding them from the blog owners, resulting in suicide awareness blogs carrying scientology ads that the blog owner had zero idea about. I appreciate the open source product and free nature of it, but I’m kind of enjoying just paying for things with Laravel. It feels like a purer deal.
