And that’s why I’m calling you either a moron or a tool. Probably both.
Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models

And that's why I call them selfish. It doesn't harm them in the slightest if someone else profits off of it.

They wouldn’t have posted if they knew this was going to happen. They posted because it was fun, not for this.
They may be morally opposed to AI (as there are many valid reasons to be opposed to it), or they may just have wanted to have been able to make an informed decision before posting, but by retroactively training the AI on their posts they’ve robbed them of the agency to make that decision.
That’s why they’re upset.

They posted content on a website whose user agreement says "we can do whatever we like with the content you post here" and then go surprised-pikachu when the website goes ahead and does whatever they like with the content they posted. Frankly, I'm not tremendously sympathetic. This should have been easy to predict.

Oh yeah I’m sure you predicted LLMs, and that they would need ridiculous amounts of training data wayyyy back in 2005 when Reddit started lol. Super easy to predict. Good job bud.
