Greetings, and Happy Holidays!
X-Industries has just signed the NoML Open Letter, calling for a specification for those who want content searchable on search engines, but not used for machine learning.
We feel that everybody—from hobbyists and indie artists, to world-famous novelists and corporations—should be able to decide whether their work can be used to train AI, and NoML aims to make this a reality.
X-Industries will also make a point of only using code that we have written (and copied from StackOverflow) in our software. We admire what AI developers have managed to do, but services such as ChatGPT, DALL-E, and CoPilot have no place in the X-Industries ecosystem.
If you want to help NoML become a reality, you can sign the open letter yourself or as a company or organisation. This can be done via email or on GitHub.
