Reddit is all bots, porn, ads and political shit posts. Good luck getting any useful training content out of that.

Reddit is a trove of user built content under the guise of community. What Spez did was to say "thanks for all the free work, suckers!", put a price sticker on it, and laughed all the way to the bank.

~~And this is why I'm not active on any Internet community anymore.~~ Nevermind, I guess I just can't help myself...

And this is why I’m not active on any Internet community anymore,

you typed.

You couldn't see the sarcasm because it was set to "hidden".

It will get trained on some comment posts.

Let reddit die. Join Lemmy or /kbin. https://join-lemmy.org/ https://kbin.pub/

And what's to stop instance owners from selling their data?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

You can't put a price tag on it. Nothing is stopping anyone from scraping all of the data for free.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The eggs are not all in one basket. Less data to sell.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Thanks to federation, the copies of the eggs are. You can’t stop one instance from selling data sourced from federated content until it’s too late.

mass user exodus to one of the many other identical Instances. Also, data brokers prolly aren't interested in going after each Instance because no one instance has enough data to make it worthwhile. Yet again, the fediverse proves its resistance to enshitification.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Lmao, if it gets as big as Reddit then it's worth scraping. It's not the fediverse making it less worthwhile, just the size.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, it's not worth running an instance! So let's all run one! LOL. It's so worth it. Fuck reddit.

With reddits severe bot problem, it'll be like training on unfiltered sewage. Garbage in, garbage out.

Why does it sound like reddit trained AI will only get dumber.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

That would explain why GPT is often so confidently incorrect.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

*laughs villainously* This is all going to plan, now there will be some chatbot spewing my insane beliefs
