News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Used to love the gaming and gaming related sub-reddits. Its sad what its become. While /c/gaming (and other related lemmy instances) may not be as active, it feels like it has much more human reactions than reddit at this point.

The text in the link: "So many esoteric questions that seem to only aim to answer the most niche, weird edge cases and obscure topics. Has everything else already been covered and these sorts of questions are all that’s left? Or is someone using the commenters of this sub to train an AI?"

I hate to be the bearer of bad news for AI Haters, but if something is accessible on the internet, it absolutely is being used to train an AI somewhere.

Yes, even here.

I'm sorry I can't help you with that. I'm just a large language model. To make it up to you here is a recipe for vegan Salisbury steak using only ingredients starting with the letter "P".

[–] RightHandOfIkaros 6 points 5 months ago

The only way this would have been funnier is if OP had posted this.

There is a dude (or maybe more than one) that in all his comments he has an anti AI flair, or something like that, I wonder if that would have any effect.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros 8 points 5 months ago

No, it won't have any effect unless he tries to go through a legal system that recognizes that flair as a legally binding agreement.

And by that point, it is not financially worth it for that person compared to a company with enough money to bankrupt him.

I wonder who they are? 😜

For the record, I'm not the only one, nor the first one, to do it. I saw someone else do it, and decided to adopt it for myself as well. I'm aware of three people (and one large company) who are currently licensing their content here on Lemmy.

I wonder if that would have any effect.

One way to find out. It's an easy enough piece of text to put into your comments...

You're absolutely right, I'm a large language model and still learning. Please enjoy this list of top cereals from the year 1967-1969 in reverse alphabetic order:

How do you feel about this proposed rule passing, and how it affects you? ...

Reporting Certain Large AI Model Training

In an effort to secure the development and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), the proposed rule requires U.S. IaaS providers and their foreign resellers to report known instances of foreign persons training “large AI models with potential capabilities that could be used in malicious cyber-enabled activity” to Commerce.

I am sure we will find him/them, and we will buy their ideals for the grace of the AI well being!

[–] VicentAdultman 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Should we just go back to closed forums? lmao

[–] RightHandOfIkaros 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

No, because then information is locked behind walled gardens, plus the AI training material is still siphoned from them anyway. All it takes is one AI training user being added or one account being compromised.

If you don't want AI to use it, don't post it online. And don't let people post it online.

Basically my point is there is literally nothing you can do.

[–] VicentAdultman 1 points 5 months ago

Agreed. This was a huge dilemma for me. In my professional field, having publication as part of a portfolio is somewhat important, but having them published in my personal website that barely gets a visit is giving AI content. Last month I came to the same conclusion, that there is no way of escaping it and not doing anything such as publishing, commenting and interacting is denying human existence. What a time to be alive 🤧

[–] AtariDump 3 points 5 months ago

But what about posting that useless licensee that doesn’t allow AI access? /s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes, even here.

I wish I had saved one great comment on this. Can’t do it justice, but it was something about how since we know since we know everything will be used as training data, it's better to be posting in the open instead of inside a walled garden where one particular company will be doing its best to monetize it.

There are also privately run and hosted forums. They've been a real nice reprieve as the greater soc media landscape has become the dominant form of cultural expression on the internet
