Great. Now all the AI bots will just be saying “This” and “came here to say that.”
“ChatGPT, solve this problem for me.”
“As an AI language model, username checks out.”
“poop knife xDD hehe”
There’s so much actually great content posted across reddit over the years, it blows my mind that people decided that was something that needed to be mentioned all the time.
You just did that yourself lol
I’ve never seen that, so my strategy of avoiding the top subs apparently worked out.
This

Came here to say that.
Username checks out

“Are you me?”
“Reddit moment”
“When does le narwhal bacon?”
Thanks for the gold kind stranger
Well… We all knew that was coming. If you still have an account haven’t done so, now’s a good time to purge your account!
Unless you live in the EU or California, odds are that just deletes the public data, I’m sure Reddit retains it and would sell it.

Reddit account data has been training AI for over a decade. If you ever used it, you’re already in a training set
That will remove your account from public view, but will it remove it from the data they use for AI training?
If not, you’re just enhancing the value of their proprietary data.
Better yet, use an overwrite script to help turn their training models to jelly
I’d be very surprised if comments weren’t versioned in some way, so even if you delete or rewrite that data, it’s probably still there and a part of training data.
That’s what I just did with my account of 10 years. I had all comments overwritten with gibberish and purged them a few days later. I’ll send them a final DSGVO request and delete it afterwards.
Done it a few months ago but then again if I was working at reddit and in charge of preparing the dataset to feed to the llm, I’d give it access to both a recent one and a snapshot from before July 2023 (or whenever shit hit the fan and we all came to lemmy), most edits would have been made in protest. And AI can figure out which ones by itself
Why? How does it harm you in any meaningful way?
Even if it’s just another scheme to further concentrate wealth (and it is at least that), that harms everyone but the 0.1%.
I draw plenty of benefit from AI tools. There are open source models that anyone can run.
My original question remains unanswered. “It may help someone I don’t like because they are richer than me” is a pretty weak concept of “harm.”
That argument is a very short (not very detailed) way of surmising the current issue with our world as a whole.
Don’t like how cars have taken over the world, are the reason cities are hard to live in for low income families, and cause massive amount of climate damage? You can thank the 1% for that.
Frustrated with how you don’t really own anything, your digital “property” can be taken away from you at a moments notice, and that everything you enjoy gets stuffed with schemes to make more money off of vulnerable people? You can thank the 1% for that.
Angered that health care costs truly absurd amounts, that medicine is sold to the consumer with a 10,000% mark up, or that a single accident that was not their fault could land someone in debt for life? You can thank the 1% for that.
A disturbing amount of things that are not good for our planet, keep the poor people poor, and generate inferior products/experiences is directly because of the insane power that the rich hold over our worlds systems.
“It helps someone I don’t like because they are richer than me” is actually a wonderful definition of harm.
Reddit used to be an amazing place of community and content that you couldn’t find anywhere on the internet. Then in the pursuit of money and the power that the 1% have Reddit (the company) started implementing practices that actively made the experience worse for the user, violated a person’s ownership of their content, and removed choice just like authoritative/dictatorship governments do.
It feels to most people that there is nearly nothing that can be done about it. So when a person has the opportunity to directly go against the rich caste in our world they will take that opportunity immediately.
I recommend taking a hard look at the things that concern you with our world, or cause you pain/annoyance/discomfort and try and learn WHY the issue is the way it is. The majority of the time is because some rich person/group of people (I’m looking at you lobby groups) has an obscene amount of power compared to all of the people affected.
Lastly there is a reason that “Tax the rich/Eat the rich” is the rally cry of generations.
It’s because the rich cause us harm.
So they’re cashing in by selling other people’s conversations.
Yeah.
You know how artists can poison their images for AI… We need a way to poison content on Reddit
I would say most of the content is already poison.
i think that’s just called posting on reddit
If you’re talking about Glaze or Nightshade, those techniques are not proven to be particularly effective. Lots of people want them to work but that doesn’t make it so.
Shit posts would do it. That’ll turn the AIs into morons who spurt out “rizz” and “skibidi” instead of anything useful
I am waiting for an LLM that trained on 4chan it would be pure gold.
Not good enough it only trained on /pol/ it seems
Fair. The rest of the site is a lot more normal. More being a relative term, of course.
Uh i don’t think anypart of 4chan is normal they are the kind of people who you will hate IRL
What makes you think that?
Take a guess
She got the sprit
Oh no.
Fuck 4chan
There’s nothing stopping anyone doing the same with lemmy posts though is there?
NO! There isn’t, lemmy is one giant honeypot.

Nah, lemmy censors that, but only if it’s your Social Security number. Here, I’ll post mine as proof.
With dashes:
***********
Without:
*********
And here’s a different SSN that’s not mine:
420-69-8008
Pretty cool!
It shows my password as hunter2 on my end how about yours
Could you post your social security number, please?
then call me winnie the pooh
Imagine AI mods trained by reddit mod models.
I would love a GPT model that just replies to every prompt with “Ya’ll can’t behave.”
Y’all need Jesus
@cosmicrookie @ardi60 “Why does this bloody thing keep asking ‘a/s/l’ and ‘Do you want a NSFW roleplay?’ even when I tell it no?!?!”
Just think, in 1000 years your body will be long dead but you’ll be forced to live on as a poster! Death is not an option. 😌
I wouldn’t like having my Shitposts harvested.
what could go wrong with training your ai based on the posts of the most racist and misogynistic people on the internet?
My god they’ll create a super redditor
It’s not 4chan… but someone did train one of those once.
Damn Facebook is owned by Reddit now?
That varies by subreddit, which might actually help in training LLMs to recognize the difference.
FYI: reddit orphans content. In other words your posts/comments are undeletable.
I found instances of such late last year by way of search results. I clicked a username to see more posts by that account. The only content on their profile page was a final deletion message about the API changes.
Their post history was discoverable by using “<username> site:reddit.com” on Google. All of their posts/comments still show up under their
username
instead of the normal[
. Clicking the username takes you to their empty profile page. ]So what we know from this now is that reddit has been saving original submissions. Whereas before their claim was that only the last edits are stored. Which is why the deletion scipts became a thing. People took it on good faith that we could delete our posts. At some point they stopped doing that. Or perhaps it was all a lie the whole time. Who knows.
No, that’s Google keeping the content of the pages they scraped at the time they scraped them.
This is how I cleaned (most) of my old posts: Searched them via Google. As they’re posted under my username I was able to change them into nonsense before deleting then. Even though they never appeared under my profile anymore.
What happens if you edit every other post with absolute nonsense sentences? I doubt they have a way to go through that?
Are you saying the original answers are not nonsense already?
Lol no. I just really want to invent some insane words, forget about them and then see them years later in some media publication that wasn’t properly reviewed and edited.
Chaotic evil! Where do I sign up?
They would probably notice and roll them back. Bulk edits raise some red flags.
This is going to produce the saltiest AI the world has ever seen.
“Hey reddit ai , give me an idea how to balance my budget and pay my student debt, mate”. “here ya go, I got a noose for you. Also I’m not your mate, dude”.
" Hey reddit ai, draw for me a house with a genz family". Here ya go. " Hey reddit ai, why did you show me a pic of a highway ramp with homeless people?"
I’m Jack’s complete lack of surprise.
I stopped posting there the moment they pulled the trigger on the API change. I used to like cruising LinuxQuestions and answering people, too.
Yup, I provided a bit of good content, but I left as soon as the API change was announced.
Alt title: Reddit looking to steal value from their millions of free users
