Who's dumb enough to pay for that? Everyone else is just scraping it for free.

Glad I nuked all my posts and comments and deleted my account last year
Ha. Some time ago they just started reversing it.
It was all backed up publicly on push shift. Still is.

"Reddit has given access to YOUR conversations and posts to AI companies.". FTFY
These were created by people, for peoole, and I will ALWAYS disagree that this data is Reddit's or any other platforms.
Don't forget your direct messages aren't end to end encrypted on Reddit, so now AI will be trained on your craziest "private" conversations
There's one good news. Reddit didn't want to pay to move all the old DMs to the new chat infrastructure. So they deleted them.

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 just wanted to say I appreciate your profile 😂
Thanks. Sometimes a randomly-chosen name from 13 years ago just takes on a life of its own over time. :)
