Reddit escalates its fight against AI bots
With AI eating the web, Reddit is going on the offensive.
You’ll need to make a licensing deal, like Google and OpenAI have done, to use Reddit content for model training and other commercial purposes.
So it's not actually about protecting anyone's data, or making the internet a nicer place to be at all, Huffman is just mad that they're potentially missing out on more revenue streams. I can't say I'm surprised
*mad that he torched the site for this business model, only for Google to find that the data was basically useless for training
It's about Reddit protecting their own data, not yours as a user.
Nazi digg discovers it doesn't like bots.
It likes bots writing to the site, for the engagement; it doesn't like bots reading the site (for free).

I can. Spez is a fucking idiot.
He's the kind of guy that would fake crying to dodge questions.
When did The Verge start paywalling? Ugh.
