excited to see everyone search for themselves in this lookup of sites that went into Google's C4 dataset (my website is ranked 5,681,776)

do I feel good or bad that my website is ranked higher than the website of someone I don't like very much, this is hard

@nev I can't decide if this will become a clout metric or just determine how many pennies get parceled out to us in the class action settlement

@ingrid @anildash Do you think they got the express written consent of Major League Baseball?

@writerethink I'm excited to see this become a clout thing ("is your website even in the C4 dataset?")

@ingrid I'm at 951,389! (a local transit advocacy website I write) Fascinating read.

@ingrid

Beat me, I'm 11,400,284. Still overrepresenting old white guys in data models.

@ingrid oh no, my composer website is 667,852

they didn't get my siddur site tho lmao

@ingrid I'm number 577,750. And yet ChatGPT still can't write an accurate bio of me.

@ingrid
I'm 5,485,202 (business site) and 1,492,191 (currently hidden personal blog), for a total of 0.00001% of tokens. They didn't get my photoblog at least.

I wonder what 0.00001% of those companies' profits is?

I wonder if it's more or less than the cost of a brick thrown through their window?

@ingrid My personal blog is 707,095. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Don’t like it.

@ingrid some people will pay for a WaPo subscription just to vanity search themselves but I am not one of those people. Nice try, WaPo.

@ingrid it looks like a good amount of mastodon instances have been fed into the training data somewhere too which is upsetting

@ingrid Awesome, thank you for the pointer!

My website in there contains dozens of pages of bullet point notes 😏 Hoping that helped derail the #LLMs a bit!

@ingrid My highest-ranked site is somewhere below 10M. I’m perversely pleased my personal site beat my work site.

@ingrid so for some reason, only the Philippines version of MySpace got indexed 🙃

@ingrid I'm pretty far down there myself 🙂
