The Verge interview is Here
The tl;dr is it's the AMA part 2: electric douchealoo
I just can't believe that a CEO of a company who doesn't pay their moderators would actually say something so tone deaf.
And blatantly false.
LMFAO that ship has fucking sailed. They already used Reddit data through 2021 and got everything they needed for free. Huffman is locking the barn after the horses are already out, and setting it on fire. What a fucking dumbass.
Also no sane company would pay that ridiculous price for training a LLM on memes
Why paying exorbitant api prices when you can scrape for free? Like all those image models clearly trained on scraped watermarked stock images
Plus they can just scrape the data without using the API. It's a red herring, just a lie to cover up his desire to kill third party apps.
