One of Spez’s answers in the infamous Reddit AMA struck me
Two things happened at the same time: the LLM explosion put all Reddit data use at the forefront, and our continuing efforts to reign in costs…
I am beginning to think all they wanted to do was getting their share of the AI pie, since we know Reddit’s data is one of the major datasets for training conversetional models. But they are such a bunch of bumbling fools, as well as being chronically understaffed, the whole thing exploded in their face. At this stage their only chance if survival may well be to be bought out by OpenAI…
No, law says that if its not supposed to be used for training data it has to be Mashine readable that its not supposed to be used for that. And for scientific purposes its basically irrelevant. You can take to court whoever you want, that doesn’t change stuff.
Interesting. Do you have a link to the specifics of the law you are talking about?
