Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing

  Lots of very general light chat and shit posts. It doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of revenue potential there.

    For a training set. Natural, and familiar conversations.

      I don’t see that being worth much $$ given the massive quantities of that information already available on the web via forums and what not?

        No, it’s definitely still valuable. It’s one of the biggest repositories of human-to-human communication on the web. I’m sure it will be even more valuable moving forward because you don’t want to train LLM models on LLM-generated stuff, and there isn’t as much incentive on a platform like Discord for bots to masquerade as users… unlike on a persistent public and searchable forum like Reddit, where there are obvious incentives to fabricate posts and comments to sell stuff/astroturf/spin public opinion. Bots exist, of course, but they’re identifiable and can be excluded.
