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 My outdated political takes and league of legends rants are going to be used to train AI!?

We're all doomed!

This is why I don't blame anyone for editing/deleting their post history on reddit.

Out of all things to hate Reddit for, giving data to AI isn't something fediverse users can really criticize it for, though making money from it perhaps.
Remember: All data in federated platforms is available for free and likely already being compiled into datasets. Don't be surprised if this post and its comments end up in GPT5 or 6 training data.

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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

A LLM that behaves like a typical Redditor?

What possible use is that?

Air Canada offering a refund of tree fiddy.

You'll get your refund eventually but first it will try and gaslight you that Air Canada is a woke mind virus before calling you an asshole and then stalking you.

Good. Maybe when it cogitates the things I've written it might start offering up some better ideas.

You signed it all away the moment you scrolled down that EULA 😂

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Can't wait for the day a major court declares EULAs universally nonbinding outside of the most common-sense terms. Even though I doubt it will ever happen.

"We can store and display your content and use stuff you publicly post as examples in advertisements for our platform" is pretty common sense.

"We can use the things you post to do complex data analytics to package and sell your identity to advertisers" is fucking sus.

"We can use the things you post to train ANN generative systems to build next-generation technologies to impersonate you and your peers" is simply nuts.

The idea that displaying an EULA with an "agree" button is informed consent is just preposterous. Even lawyers don't read them.

Seems like it would never stand up in court. Prove that -I- agreed to anything. To do that, you first have to prove that nobody has ever created an account under my name, and more importantly, prove that Reddit accounts have never been hacked and that the person who clicked the button was even in my household. And if they keep that extensive of records to where they can follow every action taken by every user on the platform, it also implies that they are tracking my personal actions even before I agreed to anything.

On the other hand, do they actually have a EULA? It's been almost 14 years since I created my account, and there certainly wasn't anything about selling my data for AI training when I signed up. If they change the terms of service, they are responsible for notifying everyone, otherwise they can't claim that anyone agreed to these changes.

I'm sure their lawyers could weasel their way through it some how, but it still seems to come down to them claiming they changed the agreement without notification but the users should still be legally bound by the new terms?
