Lol. Original title said UI. I meant AI. You all are cracking me up though.
I don’t think they’re trying to train their UI.
can’t tell if that’s flippant or just uninformed. Reddit data was a significant component of the development of most big name LLMs.
I might be a spiteful fucker, but I am going to wait for the API changes. Then use a VM based AutoGUI bot to randomly scramble stuff up, putting nice load on the site, all the while acting like a “real” person. Good luck restoring/countering that bitchboy spez!
Mwahahaha
Reddit has backups, so for AI training purposes I’m sure they can restore all the posts of everyone mass editing/deleting this month.
Its people not used to thinking about backups on databases etc or that they can’t be used. They can probably stand up a database instance preannoncement with an api infront of it for ai training. Hell probably even offer it as extra monetary option. We will sell you what preannouncement looks like, then you can use the access you pay us for currently to compare how people react against a negative action by a company.
*edit - it does impact people that would use like web scrapers vs api and also possibly google search results, so it probably does do something, just not necessarily the impact everyone might have when doing the mass deletes.
I went with explicitly mentioning my right to erasure under GDPR and how you can absolutely identify me via my account. Really interested if they undelete as I’ll be complaining to the ICO.
