  I used some tools to corrupt about 10 years of comments and posts of mine.

    While that’s the correct thing to do in my opinion, it would be a mistake to assume that Reddit didn’t store your original comments.

    By corrupting their dataset, you may actually be helping them recognize maliciously edited comments.

      it would be a mistake to assume that Reddit didn’t store your original comments.

      They were fairly specific about not doing that (I’d imagine largely because of GDPR).

      I deleted 10 years of “content” before I left and checked their policies. They apparently actually do properly delete from their servers.

      Yeah, I mean I knew that when I was doing it.

      Sometimes all you can do is make a symbolic gesture that really does nothing, and even if it does nothing, you should still do it.

      Probably leaving and supporting lemmy by paying for some developer fees (i’m on the patreon), posting and commenting, probably 100x more damaging to Reddit.

      Mass edits made rapidly are obviously suspect, too… If the same user edits anything more than a dozen comments in, say a minute, you have to ask what’s going on

    Can’t post a genius idea like this one without posting the links of the tools

      Its not my idea, but I could probably dig up the tool I used. Dollars to donuts, it doesn’t work any more.

      This might have been the tool I used. I dont think so because I overwrote everything with one message, but google around you’ll find similar.

      A tool like that would almost definitely require api access to function. If that was still possible, most of us wouldn’t be here having this conversation.

    I think Reddit caught on to this. I tried destroying my comment history (~7 years with 600k karma) with a few of the available tool on GitHub.

    Found my account permabanned next time trying to login. People should attempt to eliminate/poison as much as possible, but Reddit has all the comments and modifications in a database somewhere to sell it all to whatever AI is the highest bidder.

    They have to do something to make money after taking away awards. The advertising is absolute shit and not worth the $100 entry fee.

    • PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I used a tool that edited my comments to replace it with gibberish. Supposedly Reddit still retains deleted comments but if you edit them, it only keeps the latest version. So by editing it you make the comments worthless.

      I ran a script over all of my comments (through my browser) to edit them into something about how spez had back stabbed the community. I had tens? hundreds of thousands? of comments.

      It took several hours to run, but I did a forward pass (newest to oldest) and a backwards pass (oldest to newest). It bugged out because it had to run so long but I think I got it all.

      I’m not sure this will really do anything because you could pretty easily statistically isolate any one who did what I did, and roll their account history back to a prior state in the training data.

      Regardless, it was the least I could do on the way out the door.

    Thing is, you could use a bot to do nothing but post pop culture references, and it would be indistinguishable from a garden variety Redditor. Reddit is one of the worst places to train an AI.

  Good move, but anyone using public data already applies a simple spam filter to reject “dumb” data poisoning. Also, hatred and other negative comments as responses will be penalized in a language model training, so an effective data poisoning takes effort. I’ll just throw some ideas here how poisoning could hypothetically have a tangible negative impact in their results.

  The best one can do in terms of data poisoning is make comments that are not easily discernible from usual comments - both for humans and machines - but are either unhelpful or misleading. This is an “in-distribution” data poisoning attack. To be really effective in having any impact whatsoever for training, they need to be mass applied using different user accounts that also upvote each others’ comments in a way that mimics real user interaction: if applied in a simplistic way, a simple graph analysis on these interactions can highlight these fake accounts as a christmas tree.

  • Adalast@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I was contemplating the merits of botting with the current model with slight vectorization offsets so the data becomes prone to overfitting.

    I would think it would alao work to post using valid, but non-standard syntax so it muddies the n-gram searches.

  This announcement is just “oh by the way, the horse is now out of the barn. He left like 10 years ago but this is the announcement.”

  Shout out to whoever dismissed the first AI writings with “It’s like a perfect Redditor. Totally confident and completely full of shit, doesn’t even know that it’s lying.”

  That doesn’t happen by accident. That happens when everyone was already scraping the shit out of the site, at the very least.

  after they announced it would’ve been the time to start poisoning the comments. Then it would’ve been completely justified and moral.

  Honestly, keep up the good fight. Start poisoning all open sources that are being scraped by any type of AI.

  And I use the term “ai” very, very loosely. Because what’s called ai now isn’t real ai. It’s just an automated data collection tool.

  It doesn’t create anything, it plagiarizes real artists.
