Reddit said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that its users’ posts are “a valuable source of conversation data and knowledge” that has been and will continue to be an important mechanism for training AI and large language models. The filing also states that the company believes “we are in the early stages of monetizing our user base,” and proceeds to say that it will continue to sell users’ content to companies that want to train LLMs and that it will also begin “increased use of artificial intelligence in our advertising solutions.”
On Wednesday, Reuters reported that Reddit has entered a contract with Google, which will license its content for $60 million a year in order to train Google’s AI models.
Reddit is a treasure trove for LLMs. Plenty of corporates out there willing to pay. Its just funny to see what the outcome of an AI purely trained by the regular shitposting that reddit has will be. 🤣
If Reddit is good at anything it’s clickbait headlines. LLMs are gonna level up in that department.
Prompt: “How does a spacecraft navigate to the moon?”
A: “SPACE NOT REAL, GLOBEHEAD LIBTARD SOYBOY SHEEPLE.”
Don’t forget about the 10 or so lines of “69” followed by “Nice”
