      Hate to break it to you, but the time to do that was over a year ago, and even then it wasn’t ever really a sure thing - we don’t really know what their backup policies are around that stuff.

      This is what the former power user community that made an exodus from Reddit roughly a year ago has been trying to communicate, but a ton of people here seem to enjoy keeping their toes in the water over there, with rather predictable consequences (literally, the post we’re commenting on).

      All that said: I am very much looking forward to the absolutely titanic lawsuit around GDPR I’m sure is in the works over this.

        Not even a year ago. Reddit has been used for training data for well over a decade. We used it in 2012 in an AI class.

          My point is that there was not a revenue-generating b2b contract allowing another company to exploit it at scale, while compensating Reddit directly.

            We have to either make AI illegal or make it accountable by giving references to where it gets its data so it can properly cite its sources.

    This form of propaganda is my pet peeve. It’s not “your posts” as soon as you put something to public you don’t get to eat your cake. It’s out there, you shared it. Don’t share it if you don’t want humanity to ingest and use it.

    So it’s going to be a libtarded libtard AI that doesn’t represent the majority of the people, got it.
