Reddit Will License Its Data to Train LLMs, So We Made a Firefox Extension That Lets You Replace Your Comments With Any (Non-Copyrighted) Text (theluddite.org)

Reddit has filed for its IPO. They've been preparing for this for a while, squeezing profit out of the platform in any way that they can, like hiking the prices on third-party app developers. More recently, they've signed a deal with Google to license their content to train Google's LLMs.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we've made a Firefox extension that will replace all your comments (older than a certain number of days) with any text that you provide. You can use any text that you want, but please, do not choose something copyrighted. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for training ChatGPT on its copyrighted material. Reddit's data is uniquely valuable, since it's not subject to those kinds of copyright restrictions, so it would be tragic if users were to decide to intermingle such a robust corpus of high-quality training data with copyrighted text.

Here's that extension link again. To all our friends at Reddit, we wish you all the success that you deserve!

I started doing this with a Greasemonkey script I mostly plagiarized and replaced my posts with text from Moby Dick and Lady Chattetly's Lover.

EDIT: The problem is that old.Reddit.com doesn't access most of your comments. If you look at your comments on www.Reddit, you'll see a ton of untouched content.
