LLMs have been training on Reddit posts since at least 2012. Nothing really new here.

It's ground zero for Bots training on other Bots

Hate to break it to you, but the time to do that was over a year ago, and even then it wasn’t ever really a sure thing - we don’t really know what their backup policies are around that stuff.

This is what the former power user community that made an exodus from Reddit roughly a year ago has been trying to communicate, but a ton of people here seem to enjoy keeping their toes in the water over there, with rather predictable consequences (literally, the post we’re commenting on).

All that said: I am very much looking forward to the absolutely titanic lawsuit around GDPR I’m sure is in the works over this.

This form of propaganda is my pet peeve. It's not "your posts" as soon as you put something to public you don't get to eat your cake. It's out there, you shared it. Don't share it if you don't want humanity to ingest and use it.

You're technically right, but nobody anticipated and therefore agreed on their posts being used for training LLMs.

Public information is public information.
