You’ll get your refund eventually but first it will try and gaslight you that Air Canada is a woke mind virus before calling you an asshole and then stalking you.
Pretty sure they just didn’t migrate to the new data structure and didn’t actually delete the raw data. They’re effectively deleted for users but not for Reddit.
Good thing I had multiple bots overwrite my content before I deleted it all. Not that someone couldn’t recover it, I’m not naive. But the AI bots should miss me.
Frankly, if they’re training bots on my comments, I’d be sure to poison the shit out of those comments. Say stuff like ‘Donald trump won the election’, ‘bleach needs to be inside the body to work’, ‘Russia has rights to Ukraine’, etc. Just make the data worthless. Any free bots do that?
They say it’s $60 million on an annualized basis. I wonder who’d pay that, given that you can probably scrape it for free.
Maybe it’s the AI act in the EU. That might cause trouble in that regard. The US is seeing a lot of rent-seeker PR, too, of course. That might cause some to hedge their bets.
Maybe some people had not realized that yet, but limiting fair use does not just benefit the traditional media corporations but also the likes of Reddit, Facebook, Apple, etc. Making “robots.txt” legally binding would only benefit the tech companies.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
FUCK REDDIT! FUCK U/SPEZ! The Red-exit shall endure, VIVA LA LEMMY!!
Damn it. I haven’t deleted my account due to how many people I’ve supported and helped, I stopped using it while ago. It seems I’ll have to.
I wouldn’t bother. They’ll just mark all your stuff DELETED=1 and feed it to their AI anyway.
That’s not a bad idea.
Enjoy training on my -checks notes- DELETED POST HISTORY YOU FUCKING CLOWNS.
Stay ForeverFucked™ spez.
At this point I wouldn’t trust Reddit to actually delete posts. Just hide them then sell them as training data if the upvotes are decent.
Oh, sweet summer child… You think they don’t have of that all archived?
This is why I don’t blame anyone for editing/deleting their post history on reddit.
Who’s dumb enough to pay for that? Everyone else is just scraping it for free.
This is why they changed their API policy the way they did. They wanted to sell it rather than let bots scrape it for free.

A LLM that behaves like a typical Redditor?
What possible use is that?
Air Canada offering a refund of tree fiddy.
I just want to mark the occasion when my previous comment is on 69 points. Noice.
You’ll get your refund eventually but first it will try and gaslight you that Air Canada is a woke mind virus before calling you an asshole and then stalking you.
“instead of the $3.50 refund, I’m also authorized to offer you some June 2025 $350 GME calls.”
If it’s trained on the average Reddit reply: $420.69, nice.
Marketing to terminally online people maybe?
Entertaining puns and pointless jokes.
Good. Maybe when it cogitates the things I’ve written it might start offering up some better ideas.
“Reddit has given access to YOUR conversations and posts to AI companies.”. FTFY
These were created by people, for peoole, and I will ALWAYS disagree that this data is Reddit’s or any other platforms.
Don’t forget your direct messages aren’t end to end encrypted on Reddit, so now AI will be trained on your craziest “private” conversations
There’s one good news. Reddit didn’t want to pay to move all the old DMs to the new chat infrastructure. So they deleted them.

Oh no, all the times I sent or received dodo codes from randos so we could trade animal crossing items. Whatever shall I do?
Edit: I’m gonna leave this here for people to use as a resource against Reddit because it may be worth it to do something actionable.

I have no idea what horrible thing this will do to an LLM but I’m kind of curious.

Reddit already has plenty of actual users doing that for free.
Good thing I scrubbed all of my posts and comments that I could. Fuck that site, straight up and down.

Oh my sweet summer child
Good thing I’m not on that shitty platform anymore.
I deleted my shut when I left bur thinking about it. It’s mostly drunken rambling and bad takes. Probably should have left it

“Its content”, sure.
The AI:
"IANAL so could you ELI5, so AITA?
THIS."
It’s gonna be trained on everything, even the stuff from 2009, so I’m expecting less of that and more random ‘my fedora chortles intensify’ word salad
Ann frankly, I did Nazi that coming.
