What is your opinion of the Large Language Model (LLM) argument made by Reddit? (self.experienced_devs)

One of the arguments made for Reddit's API changes is that they are now the go to place for LLM training data (e.g. for ChatGPT).

I haven't seen a whole lot of discussion around this and would like to hear people's opinions. Are you concerned about your posts being used for LLM training? Do you not care? Do you prefer that your comments are available to train open source LLMs?

(I will post my personal opinion in a comment so it can be up/down voted separately)

r/ExperiencedDevs pointed at programming.dev specifically which is why I am giving it a shot. I have used decentralized stuff in the past like Usenet and IRC. I kinda miss the lack of corporate overlords.

I found this instance from the list, checked out any interesting names, saw the content, and this one looked the best for me.

I will do my own instance in the future, but it will take about a month before my schedule clears out.

It's kind of weird though, I always wanted to microblog, but never really found the time, now I'm thinking of using Lemmy for that.
