I went through my comment history and changed all my comments with 100+ karma to a bunch of nonsense I found on the Internet, mostly from bots posting YouTube comments. It's mostly English words so it shouldn't get discarded for being gibberish. But they didn't make coherent information. I was sad to see some of my posts go away but I don't want to feed the imitative AI.

Also did the first 6 pages of my "controversial" comments.

I know they have backups, but that's why I didn't simply delete them. Hopefully these edited versions get into the training set and fuck it up, even if only a little.

It's be funny if someone could come up with a "drop table" post that would maybe make it into the set...

I'm so confused about how AI learning is supposed to work. Does it just need any data at all in significant quantity, is the quality of the data almost irrelevant? Because otherwise surely they could just feed it back issues of scientific American, or the scanned copies of the library of congress, I can't reasonably believe that Reddit is going to add anything unless it's just pure on adulterated quantity that's important.

Is it time to go back to Reddit and post the stupidest shit possible, for science of course

While reddit has some of the most unhinged posts on the internet, it's also home to some of the most insightful and niche knowledge on the internet. For every insane venting politically misguided post, there's posts about electronic configurations, coding, athletic conditioning, parenting, psychology, astronomy, and media criticism.

since they're gorging on reddit data, they should take the next logical step and scrape 4chan as well

I wasted some mental health on that and I want that it would be the thing Google would learn on.

Comment editing routine is as follows:

1. Start with mass find&replacing by a mask 'not' to 'indeed', delete all n't, replace 'and' with 'but'.
2. Take all groups like [*](*) and change a content of links in brackets to How to play a cowbell tutorial video.
3. Remove double line breaks to a single one so it'd all be single-paragraph messages with a failed markdown.
4. Delete commas and replace dots with question marks.
5. Change register of letters by counting the next letter to redo by the next number in the π sequence.
6. Do a table of all pronouns and replace half of them to Red Pants, half to Blue Pants to keep it political.
7. And, finally, end every 13th message with a disclaimer Retired 2023, thirteen year daily forums volunteer, Windows MVP 2010-2020..

Mine among them, I hope. So cool, my calls to all good people to assemble and go kill all bad people will be used by big LLMs. Aw

Did reddit pay a dime for that content? I guess not. That is what social media is all about.

Another wave of new and undecided users coming to Lemmy! Reddit CEO is on our side after all.

Hey guys, let's be clear.

Google now has a full complete set of logs including user IPs (correlate with gmail accounts), PRIVATE MESSAGES, and also reddit posts.

They pinky promise they will only train AI on the data.

I can pretty much guarantee someone can subpoena google for your information communicated on reddit, since they now have this PII (username(s)/ip/gmail account(s)) combo. Hope you didn't post anything that would make the RIAA upset! And let's be clear... your deleted or changed data is never actually deleted or changed... it's in an audit log chain somewhere so there's no way to stop it.
