Good thing I’m not on that shitty platform anymore.

I deleted my shut when I left bur thinking about it. It’s mostly drunken rambling and bad takes. Probably should have left it

“Its content”, sure.

Is this why the privacy policy was updated?
Xanthrax@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It already happened without their consent. You’ve been able to get it to produce “reddit text posts”, for years. This is a bit harrowing, though.

Oh no! My outdated political takes and league of legends rants are going to be used to train AI!?
We're all doomed!

They say it’s $60 million on an annualized basis. I wonder who’d pay that, given that you can probably scrape it for free.
Maybe it’s the AI act in the EU. That might cause trouble in that regard. The US is seeing a lot of rent-seeker PR, too, of course. That might cause some to hedge their bets.
Maybe some people had not realized that yet, but limiting fair use does not just benefit the traditional media corporations but also the likes of Reddit, Facebook, Apple, etc. Making “robots.txt” legally binding would only benefit the tech companies.

This is the most frustrating thing, so many people are arguing against their own interests with their efforts to "lock down" their content to prevent AIs from training on it. In this very thread I've been accused of being pro-giant-company when I'm quite the opposite. The harder we make it to train AI, the stronger the advantage that the existing giant companies have in this field.

Signed over its content.
Just like that? No thought or anything put into what makes good vs bad training data?
Good luck lmfao.
Makes you wonder how hard it would be to clog up the training data with outputs from other AI models to really bake in that echo defect that they all seem to have to some extent as fast as possible. Wouldn’t that suck!

That's up to the recipient to sort out as they need.

I feel like AI companies have been scraping Reddit for their datasets already since the beginning and without permission. In fact, unless there’s been a regulation change that i’m not aware of, i’m not sure why they would have Reddit “sign away” the data when they can just scrape it.
Also dubious if the current form of AI has a future. They seem like they should revolutionize every sector when you look at their capacities, but in practice their applications might be more limited than we thought?

You need to go ahead and delete your account and give up the ghost on modding whatever sub you are referring to. I’m tired of these types of posts where you are both beholden to Reddit and also not. Pick a dang side.

Bro it’s not a war, it’s social media 😭
ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Well yeah, Sam Altman (Open AI) was even on the board of Reddit for a while. It’s a safe bet that they’ve been doing it for years.

Could the sub survive a migration to the fediverse?
thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Well no, because the old sub will continue to exist and will therefore always be where everyone goes until Reddit itself dies. I really doubt admins would let me delete the sub.

You can delete your account all you want I’m sure they have everything archived already.
