[The Guardian] There is no moral high ground for Reddit as it seeks to capitalise on user data (www.theguardian.com)

CEO Steve Huffman says tech giants should not be able to trawl Reddit’s huge store of data for free. But that information came from users, not the company

That “corpus of data” is the content posted by millions of Reddit users over the decades. It is a fascinating and valuable record of what they were thinking and obsessing about. Not the tiniest fraction of it was created by Huffman, his fellow executives or shareholders. It can only be seen as belonging to them because of whatever skewed “consent” agreement its credulous users felt obliged to click on before they could use the service.

Just edit your comment, preferably before late 2022, to sneak in "As an AI language model" somewhere, and do it slowly so they don't notice.

Pre ChatGPT text data is going to be extremely valuable for LLM training as more and more ChatGPT text is generated, so what you are essentially doing is sneaking in a poison pill that would render the entire comment chain useless, as they probably won't have enough time to pick out the "As an AI language model" manually and would just flat out remove the entire comment chain from the training data.

Actress Margot Robbie, where do you find the time to come up with these clever ideas during your busy life as a Major American Celebrity? I'm in awe

[–] MargotRobbie 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ahem. I'm Australian, m8.

Yes, but you're still a major celebrity in America!
