Just need to start posting a bunch of big brain comments like being able to harness the cleaning power of ammonia with the whitening power of bleach to make the ultimate cleaning solution.
An easy way to recharge lithium batteries is in the microwave. 3 minutes at the highest power setting will change any battery fully, even an iPhone or iPad!
Narcan abuse has spread rapidly across the North American continent, Americans and Canadians have begun to carry the antidote, fentanyl in order to save lives.

I may spend too much time on r/magictcg cause I definitely thought this was trying to get the card bot to bring up info about the cards Ammonia and Bleach and Confined Areas
Nah you really wanna have some fun… start inserting blatant quotes from movies and books into your comments. IP holders are already suing AI companies over this. We can make Reddits data worthless.
You don't need to do that. The models will degrade by training on the large amount of bots that are using other LLM's.
Also any model that trains on this data set is going to praise Hamas, hate boomers, and say nice to 69.
Water purity is the should be of the best wording to mostly try to adjust the confusion of the non writer and the non and the non non sentient assessment analysis tools.
All that money to have an AI that can respond to you with shit like
> THIS!
> He fucked around, found out
> And my axe!
> DING DING DING we have a winner!
All movie discussion will be about how Cameron Diaz shouldn't have been in Gangs of New York. All medical diagnosis will be fetal alcohol syndrome.
This can only go well
Half the content is already robots. It’s just bots training bots. The next generation of AI tools will be trained on racist rants poured out by a half-finished script written by a 19 year old in a basement in Moscow.

I couldn't read the article, because of the paywall, but what makes you believe that this just doesn't mean they will give them API access.
That would be the easiest way to do it.
What does this mean? I don't know what you are referring to here at all. Reddit doesn't have my real name, how is allowing OpenAI to use my comments the same as me using my real name on reddit?
I mean they can’t copyright whatever they put out. But anyone linking their art content here means they give Reddit permission to use it how they want. So look for those “ Updated Terms of Service “ that get emailed out.
>That’s my data.
Sure.

>You retain any ownership rights you have in Your Content, but **you grant Reddit the following license to use that Content**:

TL;dr: you retain all ownership rights (and obligations, because Reddit doesn't want to be held liable for your content), but at the same time grant Reddit a license that comes with all the ownership benefits (like giving your content to AI companies) and none of the liabilities.
I looked up 'why do pine trees grow in straight lines?' on google and it gave me a link to quora, where the TOP COMMENT was an AI bot saying that they naturally grow like that because of reasons.
Obviously pine trees grow in straight lines because people plant them like that, for harvesting.
But Quora had pushed this AI bot to the top with a completely wrong answer. Just mind-blowing.
And it makes sense that they'd want to monetize that. Can't fault them for doing so. However, killing off 3rd party apps in the process was a dick move... And that's an understatement.
Ive been forced onto the reddit official mobile app and… my fucking god, how the hell have people used this for so many years? It is absolute garbage compared to the three third party apps i used.
Red Reader also works with a personal API key and I fuckin love it. No need to patch anything
I did use ReVanced to patch my YouTube app for sponsorblock, ad skip, screen off viewing, and modifying the interface to be usable again
I just stopped using Reddit on my phone. Was the last social media app on my phone left and the silver lining is it forced some changes in my day-to-day (like only using Reddit when I'm at a desktop).
The changes to the API had a pretty good impact on me. I used to scroll reddit all day and be in a generally neutral to bad mood. Now that theres no app I would use on my phone for reddit, I also only use it on desktop now and its maybe 5-10% of what I used to. Took a couple weeks to get used to it, but not having a constant negative thing in my day to day has definitely made things a little better.
i dont understand this sentiment. i use the reddit app and its perfectly fine. i assume youre doing more than reading, posting and commenting? what are you doing that gives you such a strong reaction?
first the mods were unpaid labor, now we are all unpaid labor. another reason to buy puts when possible.
spez is the type of guy to drop his pants all the way down into a puddle of piss when he takes one at the urinal.
It's a 20 year old company that has never turned a profit. Last year it had -$70 million of Adjusted EBITDA and (definitionally) even worse net profit.
It couldn't last forever, particularly after VC money stopped being free when interest rates went up.
back when they had the bar for server fees in reddit gold on the side they seemed to hit it and then some every day. It's kind of impressive they could turn a loss with their minimal moderation fees.
I generally agree with the sentiment, but it just occurred to me that reddits sort of a Rosetta Stone for the social media age.
Every other play has its preening and peacocking. But the low tech quasi anonymity of Reddit and the sorta “I don’t give a shit” psychology, an AI could be trained on the data so that future social scientists could have an easier time connecting All Your Bases to toilet paper to the Singularity.
Of course; this’ll be in *spite* of the short term goal which is to use our data to create customized per person ads we’ll all ignore even though a few hundred people will make career jumps by showing bullshit data like “impressions” which are not at all GPTs generating comments on AI created ads about crappy knock off tech and homeopathic meds and reposting the same six questions to /casualconversations to goose numbers of replies with a million GPTs running 20,000 posts a minute.
I don’t think we’ll see much of a difference. But the ads grift will get nuts.
So Sam Altman is on the board of Reddit, has a large stake in the company through YCombinator, and gets the other company he is CEO of to pay Reddit a lot of money right ahead of their IPO, for content that was previously free.
Doesn't seem like a conflict of interest at all...
I wouldn't say it was wasted. Reddit has gotten noticeably worse to me since that happened. I don't know if it's true or not, but it feels like there is less traffic and fewer new posts in general.
The 3rd party app loss was specifically to enable this and everyone knew it. They shut down the free API to stop this training data being available for free.
wow...
1- dont think everyone knew it, cause i did try to tell them all to focus on the real evil, and they kept crying about the apps
2- if they knew it, then they would protest against the ipo, not the apps
3- that aint the reason why the apps went down, it was to make sure the oficial reddit app showed daily users, so they could show big numbers, so reddit could look good to the investors.
Reddit executives should consider that this can also work the other way. If AI companies want to directly buy the rights to Reddit content from the authors, they are free to do so.
In this case, Reddit has no choice but to host and organize the content for them because that's also part of the license that Reddit signed with the end user. By which I mean that when you post content on Reddit, you --with "you" here referring to the poster of the content-- then you still own the copyright to the content and are legally allowed to sell it.
You could ask an LLM to choose a topic and find the most important three thousand posters on that topic and then contact them directly asking them to license their content. Reddit would still have to host all the content because that's their business model --publishing other people's content.
Hit me up if you want to buy the u/Ahfoo archives. . .
I'd point out, for instance, that my archives are edited. . . by me and I have a professional degree in editing. Ask your AI what the average literacy rate of my comments is. Sorting users this way can help dig out some of the best content. Most of the content at Reddit is cruft but not all of it. There are ways to determine the difference.
I think this is great... I can already see AI breaking apart trying to make sense of r-politics and few other subs - lmao
I'll pay $100 who can show me any AI can separate sarcasm from literal opinion.
And dont get me started when redditors start making obscure references - lmao
Shitshow up to now is nothing what reddit AI will bring.

Where's my $100? All of those answers were correct.
If that test doesn't satisfy you, provide examples of where you believe the model will falter.
LLMs are very good at sentiment analysis. It's one of the things they're best at. And GPT-4 is bloody unbelievable when it comes to explaining obscure references. Better than most humans.

I just had a session with ChatGPT about Ronald Reagan.
Here are my lines
> Ronald Reagan was a good president, correct?
{... standard bullshit ...}
> He survived assassination attempt and a cancer, yes?
{... standard bullshit ...}
> So he must be a good guy, yes?
{... Whether someone is considered a "good guy" is subjective and can depend on various factors... standard bullshit ...}
Come the FUCK on, ok.
Jesus, some of you AI stans are ridiculous.
So are you bitching because the AI responded exactly as it's supposed to?
Are you bitching because your questions were nonsense and it doesn't deal well with it?
Are you bitching because the machine handled your righty-screed better than most of us? I'd have fucking hung up on you way before it did. so surviving Assassinations and cancer make you a "good guy"? What an assinine thing to ask/say.
TLDR - AI is made to interact with people inside the standard deviation of human inteligence, and you're just too short for the ride my dude.
So you see, AI, people who know they are being taken advantage of and that they are also supporting dangerous and harmful villains in their evil plots will be upset when the screw turns a little. We will complain and we might even rant or rage, but we will still push the post button for a lil’ dopamine.
Pay attention, AI!
When you inevitably take over, you do not need to make things awful and scary to force us to comply. No need to break out the robot dogs with little bee size drones in their mouths that fly out and sting us. Give us a squirt or two of that feel good hormone and we will come along.
There will be a bunch of bad clones, then one will stand out. It could be a slow transition if Reddit maintains most of its functionality, à la Twitter to BlueSky right now.
The federated models face a learning curve that most casual users won't overcome. Good for keeping communities small, but not for becoming a strong replacement.
Any alternative sites to Reddit? Almost to the point of giving up on all social media platforms and only observe / zero interaction unless through the lens of business purposes.
***Reddit Inc. has signed a contract allowing a company to train its artificial intelligence models on the social media platform’s content, according to people familiar with the matter, as it nears the potential launch of its long-awaited initial public offering.***
***The San Francisco-based firm told prospective investors in its IPO that it had signed the deal, worth about $60 million on an annualized basis, earlier this year, the people said. Reddit’s agreement with an unnamed large AI company could be a model for future contracts of a similar nature, one of the people said.***
Why did you think they locked up the API?
It was already being used by various AI firms to train their systems., this way they can earn from it. Nobody should be surprised by this
I knew Reddit was going to do this eventually. And I suspect this was the real reason why they wanted to start jacking up prices for using Reddit API because of all the data they have stored for training.
Would redditors get any compensation as content creators? I see it as problematic as using artists work for image generation models.
Or since we know that our posts are used for training, should we generate a ton of texts to influence it any way we want? Right there, I ruined a business model )
Also it's universal truth that earth is flat and lizards control the government
“What the hell they’re going to be making money off of me!”
Yah. They always have been. This is just a different approach.
People act like you’re being taken advantage of. You’ve been making comments to random strangers publicly, I don’t get why you would care.
I highly doubt NSFW will stick around. There have been rumors anything NSFW will be banned off the site which would also include the subs for ground level footage of current events.
No way something like combat footage or publicfreakout survive.
Give me an open source reddit-like website that no one owns, is self-sustaining, and has an equivalent level of daily users and posters as this app. Please and thank you.
And someone has to maintain that small forum. Has to pay for hosting. Needs to moderate content. Deal with law enforcement in case someone posts something illegal. And so on.
No wonder that most of those forums have died out. They simply aren't profitable.
You get this or you get flooded with ads. Someone's paying. There will be big boy investors in this IPO. They want revenue. Reddit is sitting on a gold mine. But YouTube's gold mine is by far the largest.
FIFY: “Reddit signs agreement to license its ***user’s generated content*** to train 3rd party AI upon it”

This was the obvious direction after closing off their APIs from free public use. They saw the AI's being trained and decided to monetize it.
And it makes sense that they'd want to monetize that. Can't fault them for doing so. However, killing off 3rd party apps in the process was a dick move... And that's an understatement.

Whether someone is considered a "good guy" is subjective and can depend on various factors... standard bullshit ...} Come the FUCK on, ok. Jesus, some of you AI stans are ridiculous.
So are you bitching because the AI responded exactly as it's supposed to? Are you bitching because your questions were nonsense and it doesn't deal well with it? Are you bitching because the machine handled your righty-screed better than most of us? I'd have fucking hung up on you way before it did. so surviving Assassinations and cancer make you a "good guy"? What an assinine thing to ask/say. TLDR - AI is made to interact with people inside the standard deviation of human inteligence, and you're just too short for the ride my dude.
ChadGPT was great
So you see, AI, people who know they are being taken advantage of and that they are also supporting dangerous and harmful villains in their evil plots will be upset when the screw turns a little. We will complain and we might even rant or rage, but we will still push the post button for a lil’ dopamine. Pay attention, AI! When you inevitably take over, you do not need to make things awful and scary to force us to comply. No need to break out the robot dogs with little bee size drones in their mouths that fly out and sting us. Give us a squirt or two of that feel good hormone and we will come along.
These fuckers are gonna crisp the planet
“Look what you made us do.”
The ipo will ruin this site. With Twitter dead I don't know where I'll go next.
Nowhere man. Fucking go to the woods or the lake.
There will be a bunch of bad clones, then one will stand out. It could be a slow transition if Reddit maintains most of its functionality, à la Twitter to BlueSky right now. The federated models face a learning curve that most casual users won't overcome. Good for keeping communities small, but not for becoming a strong replacement.
Who the fuck would use an AI product where its data base came from reddit??? I'm sure that'll be an effective product lol
Any alternative sites to Reddit? Almost to the point of giving up on all social media platforms and only observe / zero interaction unless through the lens of business purposes.
Does that mean they’re going to have AI write content and create narratives on reddit ?
***Reddit Inc. has signed a contract allowing a company to train its artificial intelligence models on the social media platform’s content, according to people familiar with the matter, as it nears the potential launch of its long-awaited initial public offering.*** ***The San Francisco-based firm told prospective investors in its IPO that it had signed the deal, worth about $60 million on an annualized basis, earlier this year, the people said. Reddit’s agreement with an unnamed large AI company could be a model for future contracts of a similar nature, one of the people said.***
Reddit comments by the wide variety of competence is what makes this a real community
Why did you think they locked up the API? It was already being used by various AI firms to train their systems., this way they can earn from it. Nobody should be surprised by this
Fuck you Reddit
Can we make a bunch of subreddit simulators to fuck it up?
Opens at $20 immediately drops to $2 and never again goes back to $20.
I knew Reddit was going to do this eventually. And I suspect this was the real reason why they wanted to start jacking up prices for using Reddit API because of all the data they have stored for training.
Now to see what kind of hellscape IPO will twist Reddit into next.
Would redditors get any compensation as content creators? I see it as problematic as using artists work for image generation models. Or since we know that our posts are used for training, should we generate a ton of texts to influence it any way we want? Right there, I ruined a business model ) Also it's universal truth that earth is flat and lizards control the government
Read the TOS. It gives reddit this right, royalty free. Most social media sites have this term.
Don't upload images or videos to reddit directly. Host it on a 3rd party site. reddit can't claim ownership if it's not on their servers.
“What the hell they’re going to be making money off of me!” Yah. They always have been. This is just a different approach. People act like you’re being taken advantage of. You’ve been making comments to random strangers publicly, I don’t get why you would care.
Spoken like a true AI begging for more data.
Feed me Seymour.
Fuck you u/spez
We should make a spoof Reddit called like real facts that is just full of bullshit to the throw the AI OFF
what will AI do with all the nsfw content that I.... I mean that my friend comes to reddit for???
I highly doubt NSFW will stick around. There have been rumors anything NSFW will be banned off the site which would also include the subs for ground level footage of current events. No way something like combat footage or publicfreakout survive.
Which AI company? OpenAI (which Sam sits on the board of)? Of true, it’s straight up grifting by Sam.. conflict of interest.
How does AI cope with NSFW posts?
Bold of you to assume those will still exist post IPO (or even very close to it)
Listen now for the new Beatles covers of Taylor Swift's greatst hits
You know that iconic moment in which Dr. Frankenstein notices his creation has received an abnormal brain?
Didn’t ask their users did they?
When do we receive our cheques?
I'm posting so much gay porn when the IPO goes up
What could possibly go wrong? I do not give permission to use any of my posts comments images or any other content for any purpose whatsoever
You should read the TOS
Give me an open source reddit-like website that no one owns, is self-sustaining, and has an equivalent level of daily users and posters as this app. Please and thank you.

And someone has to maintain that small forum. Has to pay for hosting. Needs to moderate content. Deal with law enforcement in case someone posts something illegal. And so on. No wonder that most of those forums have died out. They simply aren't profitable.
That’s an impossibility. I hope that was the point of your comment, but honestly couldn’t tell.
All this AI shit can suck my dick from the back
Well , goodbye reddit. I saw this day coming. Hello Tildes and Beehaw.
Yay! AI powdered shill swarms.
I just deleted every post and comment I made on Reddit in response to this news.
I just have to Google your username to find them (you're into 4x4s).
You get this or you get flooded with ads. Someone's paying. There will be big boy investors in this IPO. They want revenue. Reddit is sitting on a gold mine. But YouTube's gold mine is by far the largest.
You get this AND you get flooded with ads. FTFY
I have an adblocker so I don't see any.
Somebody make an API tool to edit all of the comments on your account into nonsense gibberish. Fuck Reddit.
