The newly announced “Public Content Policy” will now join Reddit’s existing privacy policy and content policy to guide how Reddit’s data is being accessed and used by commercial entities and other partners.
See my other comments in this thread. Mangle your previous Reddit comments however you see fit, and let them sell your mangled garbage…
If you think Reddit doesn’t have a versioning system for comments, I have some bad news for you. Assume everything you post online is public forever.
Run it through an AI to accelerate model collapse. In fact make more comments, but run all through an AI first.
This is another delusional fantasy from people who don’t understand how the models work or the basics of statistics.
Ai isn’t going to collapse due to bad data and adding noise won’t have any effect because it’s statically irrelevant. Newer approaches also have various checks built in for veracity so gpt5 going forward it’ll have even less effect.
That doesn’t change the fact trying to destroy a technology which will disproportionately benefit the most impoverished people on the planet by allowing them to access vital services such as education in their first language is a frankly evil act. And that’s only one of the thousands of positive use cases for natural language computing and ai.
“Trust us, this is the exploitation of human labor that will finally make life better for everyone!”
- Capitalists, every time
I used a tool to mangle my comments last June, manually verifying that every single comment in my decade+ account history was changed.
About a month ago I looked at my profile, and several comments — including ones on the first page of my profile (that I definitely know would have been edited, that close to the top) — were reverted to their unedited state.
I wonder if an edit then delete would do it - multiple steps.
They probably look for edits after a certain amount of time has passed from the original comment or post. It wouldn’t matter how many edits you make after that initial time period. They’d just revert back to the one before the long time period, if it exists. That’s how I’d do it, anyway.
