enshittification has been going on for years at reddit, but it seemed to hit the ludicrous speed button once they went public
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.
Hive mind 2.0
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.
