Correcting over a decade of Reddit shitposting in what, a few weeks? They're pretty ambitious.
This is perhaps the most ironic thing about the whole reddit data scraping thing and Spez selling out the user data of reddit to LLM'S. Like. We spent so much time posting nonsense. And then a bunch of people became mods to course correct subreddits where that nonsense could be potentially fatal. And then they got rid of those mods because they protested. And now it's bots on bots on bots posting nonsense. And they want their LLM'S trained on that nonsense because reasons.
The reason being to attract investment dollars. Fuck making a good product, you just gotta make a product that's got all the hot buzzwords so idiot billionaires will buy shares and make line go up.
Well, they've got the people for it! It's not like they recently downsized to provide their rich executives with more money or anything...
