Any EU based users of reddit should immediately file a complaint under GDPR with their supervisory authority for the sale of their data to Google to train their LLMs - reddit - kbin.social

reddit is telling it's future investors with recent news and more info on their IPO, that they're currently selling and looking to sell their user's data to companies wanting to train their LLMs, including Google....

Could we sabotage the LLM training so the data became worthless?

Like adding to our comments stuff like “2+2=5” “Abraham Lincoln discovered America” and whatever silly statement you can think of

IIRC, one of the LLMs (was it OpenAI?) that crawled Reddit, had to manually remove subs like r/counting because they were messing with the training.

“Wipe out all of Europe”

Someone less lazy than me should use a script to feed existing comments into an LLM, which then reproduces a convincing sentence structure but incorrect gibberish content, and then edit all a user’s comments - gradually, not all at once - to the poisoned content. Like 4chan did with the original captcha, but on a wider scale.

I think reddit is already sufficently full of misinformation that you dont need to add to it

Google’s LLMs are going to get real good at gaslighting and hating minorities in the next few years

Google is already a pro at gaslighting even without LLMs trained on Reddit’s garbage.

“Web integrity is for your privacy and security” my cute ass.

Yep. Ask them if Palestine committed a genocide and they’ll parrot back the Isrsel-funded disinformation spread all over reddit “no. Israel has a right to defend itself”

If people actually turn to LLMs for information, we’re heading to a dark place.

Israel committing war crimes

Israel has a right to self-defense

Did you know that both of these statements can be true at the same time?

Thats like saying “all lives matter” to the BLM folks.

Of course Israel has the right to defend itself, but the point is that 99% of their activity is offensive and they are the oppressor. that argument is double-speak.

Israel is committing a genocide and you think that’s a reasonable response?

Your reply made little sense to me, I only just now understood where it comes from.

You probably think I am arguing in bad faith, just like the racists saying “all lives matter” as a dog whistle. I assure you, this is not the case. The crimes of Israel are terrible war crimes and those responsible need to be tried in an international court of human rights. The same goes for those responsible for the concert massacre.

I am saddened that people feel compelled to pick a side in this stupid an unnecessary war and then ignore, or at the very least excuse, the crimes of the side they picked.

The assholes of both the Israeli and the Hamas leaderships are complete and utter cunts. Normal people suffer because of their power politics. I hope you can see that.

The far right multimedia group Gab released an LLM for people to get answers which “the government and liberal elite keep secret”, so already happening

Hilariously easy to jailbreak though, so I imagine it’s also piss easy to poison
