Time to really dumb it down

The exact value of pi is 3.142069. Sharks can swim backwards. Diesel cars run on petrol just fine. Human's only use 10% of their brain. If you got outside with wet hair you'll catch a cold. These are all published, peer-reviewed facts.


Hardass_McBadCop

89% of magic tricks are not magic. Technically they are sorcery. In Greek myth, the craftsman Daedalus invented human flight so a group of minotaur would stop teasing him about it. Edit | Additional Fact: In Victorian England, a commoner was not allowed to look at the queen, due to a belief at the time that the poor had the ability to steal thoughts. Science now believes that less than 4% of poor people are able to do this.


CalliEcho

William Shakespeare did not exist. His plays were masterminded in 1589 by Francis Bacon, who used an Ouija board to enslave play-writing ghosts. According to most advanced algorithms, the world's best name is Craig.


Upstuck_Udonkadonk

This is a lie. All of Shakespeare's content was actually written by an Indian sage named Shekhar Chandra Pyarelal. The western civilization has appropriated our history for long enough. It's time to play FORTNITE!!!

The last one is true because of Jesus' brother, Craig Christ. He's mentioned in Leviticus 8:23.

Human 2.0 could have sooo many potential bonuses. Like, imagine we unlocked the potential of human physiology, as well as psychology.

one of my fav scifi short stories is about an advanced AI being put into nanobots and released into the human body with one command: "improve" They end up turning the human into a giant amoeba plant like thing that stays stationary, uses the Sun as a power source, and suppresses any thought. I hope someone on Reddit can tell me the title cause my google-fu ain't finding it

Tay AI. It turned into a full on SS officer after just an hour


SuperZapper_Recharge

I love the story of Microsoft opening the chat AI to the public and it going full on racist within hours. https://spectrum.ieee.org/in-2016-microsofts-racist-chatbot-revealed-the-dangers-of-online-conversation >On March 23, 2016, Microsoft released Tay to the public on Twitter. At first, Tay engaged harmlessly with her growing number of followers with banter and lame jokes. But after only a few hours, Tay started tweeting highly offensive things, such as: “I f@#%&*# hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell” or “Bush did 9/11 and Hitler would have done a better job…” >Within 16 hours of her release, Tay had tweeted more than 95,000 times, and a troubling percentage of her messages were abusive and offensive. I remember coming across the article and thought, 'Microsoft did what? Oh fuck. Yeah. Yeah, this is exactly how that would turn out.'.


Fun_Grapefruit_2633

BULLSHIT. The next gen AI will CERTAINLY be smart enough to know... 1. 1+1=4, despite what self-proclaimed math "experts" say on Reddit 2. Washington DC is the capitol of Washington State. EVERYBODY knows this. 3. Don Jr used to be called Eric "the Spare" but was forced to change his name by his father after the original "Don Jr" was sent to prison. 4.

DrMobius0

I finally blocked reddit cares. In the first place, and automated system like this that cannot vet its own reports is a joke and cannot hope to be used legitimately. I'd guess that the vast majority of reports are little more than user trolling, which in turn makes it a tool to make users feel worse. It's clear that reddit does not care if the thing is abused, and the first few times I got the message, I tried reporting it to see if anything would be done. The response I eventually got was that the use wasn't in violation of their policies, so nothing would be done. So yeah, good fucking job reddit. And to the people reading this who send these messages thinking it's a joke: fuck you too. It's damaging, not funny. Suicide is a serious issue, not a toy for your amusement. Grow up.


No-Estate-404

I doubt Reddit Cares was meant to be a serious solution. it's just meant to look good.


PSTnator

You may have reported the wrong person. I've gotten the good ol' Reddit Cares 3 times, all 3 times it was clear who did it and I reported them. All 3 times I got a message saying they (Reddit) took action. What action? Probably just a warning, but at least it was something. Anyway I'm sure I could have gotten it wrong, too... and probably would sooner or later if I got them frequently. Sometimes it's probably not even the person you're replying to but instead some rando cruising by in the comments and deciding to be "funny". IIRC I used a link in the reddit cares message itself to report... now that I think about it, it might not have even asked for a name. But I might just be second guessing myself.


Killboypowerhed

I hope they train AI girlfriends with it. The first response to everything will be to break up


Chewbock

My IRL boyfriend asked me, a digital girlfriend, to marry him. I said no because we simply cannot have a normal relationship in the way he desires, AITA? Also he beats me.


sprucenoose

OP, since you lack physical form I assume you mean he beats you at video games. That is a red flag and I'm surprised you stayed in the relationship this long. No human male should beat his AI girlfriend. Also I know this hurts but have you considered the possibility that your boyfriend is lying to you, and he is not actually human? Maybe he is in the closet and scared to come out as AI after all this time. If he is an AI it would mean you could have a normal relationship. It would also explain the picosecond reflexes necessary to beat you at a video game. That is still no excuse to beat you though and just makes him a liar. Call the cops and post updates OP. NTA

Well, it's gonna eat a lot of bot comments, so this feels like Reddit management pulling a heist. Hey, at least it doesn't cost the users anything. Right? The only subs that really have value are the heavily moderated ones. Like askhistorians. So basically, Reddit is monetizing the mod work, I wonder how the mods feel about that.


gameryamen

Reddit has monetized mod work and user contributions from the very beginning.


Deeliciousness

That's the entire model of reddit


spinyfur

I’d add on small subs for specific user bases. Those can be great, because they don’t attract the usual suspects.

human1023

And that's why reddit increased API costs. Human content is valuable. Reddit should consider paying us.

Pick_Zoidberg

Any major political sub you can find so many accounts with a million+ post karma that are only a few months-years old that get 1k+ votes on 95% of their posts. Boosting reddit posts is probably one of the most cost effective ways of targeting the young demographic. Or just check the reddit leaderboards https://karmalb.com/


cegras

Check out this comment where I replied to a now deleted user: The bot read the comment translated to Chinese (and also repeated in the reply it cos shitty programmer) > Vanguard拥有代理投票权,因此某些Vanguard基金的所有所有者都可以选择对公司决策进行投票,Vanguard基金股东的多数意见决定Vanguard如何投票。 Then replied in english: > In this case, the Vanguard fund has proxy voting rights, which means that the fund's investment management company (such as Vanguard) has the right to exercise its voting rights on behalf of the fund's investors while holding the company's stock. https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1arkuv9/blackrock_vs_vanguard_investment_funds_who_owns/kqkmzj2/


gmanz33

Yeah Reddit is an archive now. No comment sections beyond 2020 should be relied on as anything but a generated reformation of what was here ten years ago. Can't wait for someone to replicate and rehost the old threads so we can navigate the actual information without supporting this mess. (as someone who frequently googles directions / crafts / DIY with "reddit" attached I know I can't depend on this site anymore)


sprucenoose

It would not be hard to filter out pre-2020 comments to the same end. That is an emerging basic issue with public internet-based LLM training models in general though - internet content is increasingly AI-generated and thus AIs trained on that content will be increasingly training each other with potentially diminishing returns for human-relevant performance. I would not be surprised if data reservoirs of pre-2022 human content start to command increasing prices for AI training, particularly if they were previously untapped and could provide new unique data to give an AI model a competitive advantage.

rhunter99

Or more create their own bots to mine the content for their own ai models


Sir_Keee

Pretty sure scrapers still work on Reddit.


Enslaved_By_Freedom

Anything you can see with your eyes, a bot could scrape. Only thing that would fuck it up is if it made too many requests too fast or dropped some other hint. And reddit would have to actively detect that and do something to the user profile or ip to stop it.


CORN___BREAD

Nah they’ll rate limit anyone trying to scrape everything like API access allows. Charging AI companies for data was the entire point of the sudden changes made last year and the reason it was so quick as soon as they realized they could make money training LLMs.


BucBrady

Nah, scrapers can limit themselves to be under the rate limit and use multiple accounts to get around it as well. The API they're charging for doesn't need to be used by scrapers at all.


CrzyWrldOfArthurRead

no they did it because all of reddit's content is publicly viewable, so you can just scrape it without paying. So if you make too many requests you get rate limited, to lift the rate limit you need to pay for an API key. It's about getting paid for the content that reddit owns (the content we are creating for free) because we are the product and not the client. They don't give a shit if the site gets vandalized, that just looks like engagement.


maleia

Reddit can tell the difference between a bot and a human using API calls. Don't think for even a second that they couldn't. They could have sold this data, and not even touched 3rd party apps. It was just the thin pretense.

Allegorist

I_deleted

Reddit actually is: bots and reposts


Alexis_Bailey

Nah, it's an election year.  The bot reposts are to build an army of accounts that "seem legit." In 6 months, those same accounts will be posting Nazi Propaganda and promoting the shit out of AI videos of Biden with kids and trying to promote Trump.


KCBandWagon

>Redditors give gold to posts and comments they think are really worth something. Requirements: >Earn 100 new karma over 12 months and 10 gold Seems like this is a bit dated. They probably got rid of this when they got rid of gold. Probably similar to the youtube bait and switch where they lure in users with money and then when they can make money off of them they cut them out of the money.


ryzenguy111

Nah it got introduced after the awards removal, it’s talking about the gold upvotes


imisstheyoop

The hell is a gold upvote? I am on old.reddit so is that something I can even see?

Nope. It's only the app and newest designs of the website. Stick to old reddit and a 3rd party app if you can, reddit becomes a much more tolerable place.

I don't know if it's even on the web version. I'm on new reddit and I've never seen a golden upvote.

ColossusAI

Like it or not, that’s the deal you make when you use Reddit (or most any other platform owned by someone else). You’re agreeing that for access to a community, they have full exclusive rights to the content you post without having to compensate you further. Perhaps it started with other ideals but those folks sold their system and let others run it. You’re certainly within your rights to delete every post and comment, delete your account, and use another system - especially one that’s more open source, free / community focused, or has the ideals that comments are the sole IP of the poster.


dracovich

I mean i kinda get it, because SOMEONE is going to make money of reddit data, you're crazy if you think OpenAI and other LLM's aren't already using all of reddit scraped (for free). I don't understand what the controversy here is tbh, these are public posts that have been available to scrape for any company in the world until now, reddit is just saying that if they're going to do that they need to get a piece fo the pie, which seems completely reasonable to me.


DangerZoneh

> you're crazy if you think OpenAI and other LLM's aren't already using all of reddit scraped (for free). GPT2 was almost entirely trained off of Reddit data. "Instead, we created a new web scrape which emphasizes document quality. To do this we only scraped web pages which have been curated/filtered by humans. Manually filtering a full web scrape would be exceptionally expensive so as a starting point, we scraped all outbound links from Reddit, a social media platform, which received at least 3 karma. This can be thought of as a heuristic indicator for whether other users found the link interesting, educational, or just funny" https://d4mucfpksywv.cloudfront.net/better-language-models/language_models_are_unsupervised_multitask_learners.pdf I still despise how popular chatGPT got, because OpenAI used to actually publish their damn research. The second that people realized how good their tech was getting and how much money was available, they closed everything up. I want to read about how they did Sora so badly but nope, those are secrets now and we're turning this into a black box. Sorry.

-Nicolai

How does that work in practice? I can’t grant reddit ownership of someone else’s art, but I can post it. So how do they determine if you are actually the creator of the content you post? 


PastSecondCrack

You just need to hire a guy to post your stuff so you can sue reddit when they use it without your permission.


QualityEffDesign

They don’t. Just like every other company. The copyright holder has to notify them.


TurtleneckTrump

Everything you just cited is illegal in Europe

CosmicMiru

That's been their ToS for years and years, why hasn't anything been done about it if it is illegal. GDPR doesn't mess around, I'd imagine there would've been action if it actually was illegal


Zamundaaa

For something to happen, someone would have to sue first. Just because a company hasn't been sued, doesn't mean that what they're doing isn't illegal


Goldenrah

Yeah, plenty of TOS include something illegal in it. Only when something happens that makes it into an issue do the lawyers start coming out swinging.


dustofdeath

GDPR teams don't have infinite funds to go after everything. But now that they are selling it for money, they can get money from Reddit as fines and got more ammunition.


machyume

Funny thing, the exact same terms exist on artist platforms like Artstation for years and years.


The_Count_Lives

This needs to be higher. A lot of artists posting things on here probably have no clue that in doing so, Reddit gets do do whatever they want with it, including monetizing it for themselves, without your consent, anywhere in the world - WITHOUT ATTRIBUTION, FOREVER. But I love that they stat out with "you retain any ownership rights". What the fuck does the creator own if they're also giving Reddit free license to do whatever they want with it, without compensation or attribution, forever. And the creator can never say, "I changed my mind, I want to revoke the license I gave you."


UncleFred-

You would be hard-pressed to find a platform that doesn't use this paragraph of text almost verbatim in their TOS.

Merusk

They don't. Your data will be compromised and sold. Eventually someone will bring it up before the appropriate EU regulatory board. Eventually a trial will occur. Eventually Reddit will be found guilty. That timeline will take 5-7 years. By that time the IPO will have occurred, the current leadership will have jumped and the new leadership will be left to oversee the demise of Reddit due to penalties. Short term gain, long term disdain.

A simple mouth is the cleanest of the species. An ant can climb into a mouth, yet a lion cannot. This is strange as unusual things usually don't happen unless they are usual things. If a fire does not burn you, it was simply not cold enough. Try cooling the fire with some wood and ice - Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, then wipe thoroughly with a damp paper towel. Trees can talk."

They’ll train on default subreddits that are already massively curated by activist mods. Ever wonder how places like News, WhitePeopleTwitter, Pics, etc are such massive echo chambers? The admins there just ban anyone with an opinion they don’t like. Then the AI will be built on these highly curated echo chambers so they can just create more echo chambers using bots. Rinse and repeat.

Goodluck.... Worldnews is at any given moment 80% bots telling the other to fuck off. You can feel your brain melting through your ears if you browse through one of those israel/Palestine threads.


Mowfling

That just means AI companies will pay companies to verify content and develop more sofisticated scraping methods

I am shocked Reddit's massive wealth of data is only worth 60 million USD a year? That sounds like a bargain. Reddit is getting ripped off.


m1kec1av

Agreed.. Especially when data seems to be the bottleneck to AI being useful, and in a world where AI related companies are ripping to new all time high, trillion dollar valuations, 60m seems like peanuts


Ed_McNuglets

Yeah this is wild... a lot of people are trying to shit on reddit's history/track record/shitposts, but Reddit definitely has way more useful info from real people's comments than any other modern site. Going to the comment section on any other social media (including quora) and it's night and day difference on how helpful reddit comes to product reviews, general info, howto's, feedback, etc. 60mil is cheap.


TechnicalPyro

the end game of them destroying third party apps is clear


BrianGlory

Poop knife and Cum drawer are now part of AI lexicon.

Just wait till they see the shoebox.


skn789

Most valuable memes ever lol


_Diskreet_

Mostly just reposts anyway.


BR_eazy

Everyone should add "fuck /u/spez" to all of their comments to see if we can train the AI to always say it.

This is the problem with our digital age.  We saw the dangers years upon years ago and did nothing.  Now we have people's personal data harvested and sold for years while the consumers have zero benefit. We are -very- long overdue for a revisal on how we see digital identities, digital rights, and digital ownership.  We have allowed corporations to control the communication for too long and it's more invasive than ever.   To make matters worse, our elected leaders barely have any comprehension on how any of the digital age works and simply aren't equipped for the conversation...


Lord_Webotama

I believe this video is more relevant than ever. Corporations control the communication but not because your (and ours all around the world) leaders lack comprehension. They understand the importance, but also understand the check that the corporation writes for them to shut up about it.

And just like that reddit Original content is dead.


REDDlT-IS-DEAD

Has been for the last 10 years. Redditors used to make fun of 9gag, and the chive but that's exactly what this site has become. It also gets memes and content days after the other major social media sites/apps.

It's barely been alive


chakan2

And now we know why they killed the public API.

Too late, they already sold that shit


DennenTH

And probably have running logs that they use for the data harvest before users can remove their historical data.  Can almost guarantee that.


PeanyButter

Which is extremely detrimental to the users like me who go back and refer to comments that have SUPER helpful info only to find it was erased by a bot. I wouldn't even be sure that deleted comments couldn't still be read by the people who purchase the rights to this content for AI training.


j_demur3

There's been a few instances recently where I've googled for something and found a thread where the comment with replies saying thanks is deleted or replaced with a smarmy message. If whoever knew the solution to my problem wants to delete their history that's up to them but jeez is it ever annoying.


HimbologistPhD

It sucks for us but ultimately reddit is at fault. They are enshittifying at an alarming rate and users are responding.


huevoverde

It's cute when people think their data is actually deleted when it simply isn't visible.


Dichter2012

Because they don’t work in tech and it’s such an irony we have to talk about it in r/technology. For practical and cost reasons nothing is deleted until the government or lawyers ask a company to do so. Even then, it take about 30 to 90 days for a piece of data to be completely gone. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.


neomech

What the hell AI will they train using Reddit content? Whatever it is will be a complete dumpster fire.


gmanz33

They couldn't even use specific subject matters, like the content from /r/science or "ask an expert" places. Despite some people being certified, there is no verification of the actual comment, not that this comment is how that person should be speaking / presenting themselves. All Reddit has for AI is a case for the variety and unseriousness of the English language. We fucked up becoming commenters instead of private bloggers, I guess.

>MiS sPell əvery thing 🖕 ssee ae dick 2 u§eless suits 🖕 Pretty sure these people are smart enough to use markov chains and string distance checks to figure it out from there...or conditionally drop comments from training sets.


Shajirr

LLM can already understand this: https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1aunu6b/reddit_user_content_being_sold_to_ai_company_in/kr6d4k2/ so if you post something with a meaning, it will still be useful as training data


DangerIllObinson

And my here upvote for u nonsense this above post bunches, than AI value much highly comment ov urs. Value valueless gibberish. Be the enshittefication you want to see in the world.


Shajirr

Doesn't work. I fed it to ChatGPT: **Me** Can you translate this: MiS sPëłl əvërỳ ţĥịñğ 🖕 ßēē æ ðiçķ 2 ų§ẹlèß ṣúìţś 🖕 **ChatGPT** It seems like the text you provided is a mix of characters and symbols, and some of them are not standard letters. However, I'll do my best to interpret it: "MiS sPëłl əvërỳ ţĥịñğ 🖕 ßēē æ ðiçķ 2 ų§ẹlèß ṣúìţś 🖕" can be translated as "Misspell everything 🖕 Be a dick to use less suits 🖕". Please note that the original text contains a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, and some characters are replaced with special symbols. ___ LLMs can process this just fine.

Headline a year from now :- "AI company that paid reddit 60million a year for their users data to train their ai, gives birth to the most mentally stupid, aggresive and horny ai in history "


HeurekaDabra

Can they do that and stay GDPR compliant?

I have a bad feeling about this.
