  • Just upgraded my Silverblue installation. It was boring. It just downloaded while I kept working, one reboot, and it just works. Nothing to fix or tweak. What now?

  • Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now, Thanks to AI Deal

  • Who should be regulated, Google or Reddit? Reddit updated there robots.txt to disallow everything. As it's their site, I guess it's also their right to determine that. They then made a deal with Google, which I guess is also not abusing a dominant position by Google, as Reddit could have made a deal with anyone.

  • It's a bit of a dilemma reading their policy:

    We believe in the open internet and in keeping Reddit publicly accessible to foster human learning (...) Unfortunately, we see more and more entities using unauthorized access (...) especially with the rise of use cases like generative AI. This sort of misuse of public data has become more prominent as more and more platforms close themselves off from the open internet.We still believe in an open internet, but we do not believe that third parties have a right to misuse public content just because it’s public.

    Being a open/public platform, but still wanting to protect user's content from being used for AI could be a good thing, and I guess also what many fediverse users would want for this platform. Making a distinction between AI and search indexing could indeed be difficult. But then making content deals with Google for search indexing and AI training is a bit hypocrite.

  • Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base'

  • Is this a long term source of revenue for Reddit? Or will it loose value at some point, simply because LLMs are all trained sufficiently on user generated content. Is there more to learn at some point?

    Also it seems that a lot of content on Resdit is already AI generated, so it would train on data from other LLMs, which I'm sure doesn't improve quality.
