Covid tubro charged that shit across pretty much all sectors or economy.
Mandatory "f*ck spez"
You can say "fuck spez" here. It's okay.
I mean… OpenAI already crawled all the shit in Reddit long time ago. Guess now they want the future info to be “legal”
I'm glad I didn't sit by and deleted all my posts and comments.
Anyone can download a torrent containing historical Reddit comments, Reddit surely has at least that if not a full edit/delete history of all the comments. The only people you are thwarting by deleting your comments are other humans who may stumble across your old threads in Google.
I can't agree with this enough. People are extremely fucking naive if they think the comments are actually gone.
And also they're posting about it on a completely open platform that any AI trainer could trivially be "harvesting" as well.

But what does it crawl from reddit? Programming gpt doing the opposite?
If I correct gpt it says: sorry, my apologies,
Instead of: fuck you.
