Side note: expect a large lobbying effort by Google to legislate LLMs be trained on authenticated and non copyrighted data
So you expect Google to lobby against the data it has?
I expect Google to leverage their money hoard and 1.8 trillion dollar valuation to lift up the ladder behind them and neuter potential competing start ups with copyright law.
Reddits TOS make all your data in any future formats theirs to sell, so in this case the content has been laundered enough to be used, even if you can post copyrighted content on reddit (the legal expectation is reddit would remove it and Google's hands are clean).
