As I wrote on the old place, google already crawls reddit, in fact google is now the only way to search your own post history using the 'site:' tag. So there was no need for google to pay reddit to train their AI to read reddit comments. The contract must therefore be for google to train their AI by posting comments in a Chinese-style censorship scheme (drown out real info with propaganda).

And since they only make these things public after they're implemented, I conclude that half of reddit is already comprised of google's (and others') Ai spamming every goddamn sub with official propaganda. Which is exactly what we see if we go to subs like r/worldnews or r/politics.

I find nothing in what you've said to disagree with.

Makes complete sense when you see the horseshit Google's text and image AI tools are excreting.

Saw a meme of a black woman who was delighted that Gemini produced an image of a black female Nazi - "finally, I no longer feel excluded!"

  • Reddit has partnered with Google in a $60 million deal, allowing Google to use Reddit posts to improve its AI models and products, while giving Reddit access to Google's AI models.

  • Reddit has filed for an initial public offering , aiming to go public and attract investors with revenue-maximizing decisions.

  • The deal is significant for both Reddit and Google, as Google gains access to Reddit's human-written content to train its AI models, while Reddit benefits from improved site search and other features.
