    Getting access to the massive backlog of user data over the last 15 years for a mere 60 million. I’m glad reddit shot themselves in the foot, I’d go delete my user data from reddit, but im sure they’ll be crawling the backups as well.

        Unless they’re leasing the information every year, which would essentially make their ai dependent on the data, but that data is probably the best source to use on the internet. Also, without continuously using the most current comments and posts, the ai model won’t be able to give any info about current events topics and such.
