Reddit has a new AI training deal to sell user content::Reddit has reportedly made a deal with an unnamed AI company to allow access to its platform’s content for the purposes of AI model training.
They say it’s $60 million on an annualized basis. I wonder who’d pay that, given that you can probably scrape it for free.
Maybe it’s the AI act in the EU. That might cause trouble in that regard. The US is seeing a lot of rent-seeker PR, too, of course. That might cause some to hedge their bets.
Maybe some people had not realized that yet, but limiting fair use does not just benefit the traditional media corporations but also the likes of Reddit, Facebook, Apple, etc. Making “robots.txt” legally binding would only benefit the tech companies.
