The LudditeReddit 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.
Gilgwath@theluddite The #ccc hackers code of conduct says not to meddle in other peoples data. that line becomes blurry really quick if other people mistakenly think, my data is their data.
Question here is: do you sing away the intellectual property rights of what you create, if you post on Reddit? Can an ULA even do that in a legally binding way?
@theluddite @gilgwath 😂 True, true. But has he heard of class action lawsuits, I wonder.
