As warned, Reddit has taken a bundle of money from "Open"AI and will use it to further monetize what you -- and the volunteers who moderate it all -- contributed for free.
It's the norm now, and particularly slimy in this case.

@dangillmor If they want to use public data, they should be required to make the models, datasets, and research just as open.
For the exact same reason we should require that all medical studies funded with taxpayer dollars be freely accessible.
We can NEVER allow a company to buy out and effectively privatize the public information posted on the internet.
