Technology

I think people miss an important point in these selloffs. It's not just the raw text that's valuable, but the minute interactions between networks of ~~users~~ people.

Like the timings between replies and how vote counts affect not just engagement, but the tone of replies, and their conversion rate.

I've could imagine a sort of "script" running for months, haunting your every move across the internet, constantly running personalised little a/b tests, until a tactic is found to part you from your money.

I mean this tech exists now, but it's fairly "dumb." But it's not hard to see how AI will make it much more pernicious.

They should train it on Lemmy. It'll have an unhealthy obsession with Linux, guillotines and femboys by the end of the week.

If that's the best humanity has to offer I'd hate to see the worst.

For everyone predicting how this will corrupt models...

All the LLMs already are trained on Reddit's data at least from before 2015 (which is when there was a dump of the entire site compiled for research).

This is only going to be adding recent Reddit data.

Great, our Ai overlords are going to know I'm horny, depressed, and solve both with anime girls.

By this logic Llama should be ranting like our drunk uncles on Facebook. It doesn't though, just like Gemini won't from Reddit content.

What percentage of reddit is already AI garbage?

I ALSO CHOOSE THIS MANS LLM

HOLD MY ALGORITHM IM GOING IN

INSTRUCTIONS UNCLEAR GOT MY MODEL STUCK IN A CEILING FAN

WE DID IT REDDIT

fuck.

Meh, it'll be counter balanced by the same AI training itself for free on Lemmy posts.

Good luck, The Ai just going to be a porn addicted nazi cultist and is just going to a racist AI. I dont rember which one but a company did a similar thing and the AI just became really racist.
