Since half or more of reddit is now bots and shills, I don’t imagine the training data is going to be great. That’s fine, Gemini already sucks, so it’ll be hard to make it worse.
There are many, many, many things posted as fact over the years on reddit that are not only untrue, but dangerous or even deadly in the case of some of the most idiotic advice given. I wish good luck telling them all apart to the poor 3rd world contractors the big commercial AI companies exploituse to “train” their stochastic parrots.
I had not nuked my account history, because while reddit went to shit for me, I still used it as an info source via search. And so I wanted to leave my posts/comments in case they add value to someone else, who still uses the platform. But with this, if I am not lazy, I just might. I don’t even care about the AI training bit, rather that it is Google AI.
Literal steal considering how much content is produced and published there. However, bots training bots will be funny to watch and might lead to some interesting AI detection tech

The data being generated now sure, but there’s still the years of actually useful data there.
Then add on the remaining half of comments that are from sensible users and it’s a decent, and still fairly unique, dataset.

What’s it called when you sell something you don’t own?
theft?
piracy?
… scalping?
selling on margin?
You wouldn’t download petabytes of information that was generated by the public for free and try to monetize it
DOWNLOADING IS PIRACY
Innovative business decision?
Reddit getting paid to do fuck-all while their users generate all their content.
Actually, it’s worse than that because Reddit actively makes the site shittier every month.
Don’t forget at least half the stuff on Reddit these days is posted by AI bots. Enshitification all the way down.

Which is cheaper — paying a Reddit $60m per year, or just buying the company outright after the stock tanks?
As much as I wish to see the stocks plunge, it probably won’t.

That’s it? JFC
Imagine paying $60M for trash
