The unexpected winners of the AI gold rush are all the user generated content sites like Reddit, Tumblr & Yelp that are selling user data to AI companies to train LLMs.

Everything you’ve ever published online is being used to train AI that will one day come for your job. Ironic.

@carnage4life On the flipside, the AI companies are spending like crazy to get access to data sets with only speculative benefit.

This feels very "dot-com bubble" to me. Once the fomo money is dried up, what's the value proposition that keeps investors and clients coming back?

@carnage4life maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll pick up “Did you RTFM?” Being the logical answer to most technical and programming questions.
