Reddit signed a deal with Google to use its data to train LLMs. To celebrate, we made a firefox extension that lets you replace all your comments with any text of your choosing. All we ask is that you not choose something copyrighted. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for training ChatGPT on its copyrighted material, and we wouldn't want Reddit's uniquely valuable data to become hopelessly intermingled with that of litigious copyright-holders.

An anticapitalist tech blog. Embrace the technology that liberates us. Smash that which does not.

Oh, I say, this is even more elegant than my replacing the comments with randomized text.

Brilliant thought, one must never use copyrighted text, should one!

I'm now happily getting autbanned from reddit subs because, hey, fuck reddit capitalizing on my data.
