Reddit has struck a deal with Google, $GOOGL, to make its content available for training the search engine giant's artificial intelligence models, per Reuters.

Google AI pitch meeting: Everyone seems to be mocking our AI. How can we make it more woke and cringe?

tech/science swag. 
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

Seriously they have neutered it so heavily because they fear tweets that they ruin their product and ultimately the general utility of AI for anything but boring corporate work, productivity software, and generic text generation
An AI can't be used in real life if it operates in an ever shrinking bubble of controls and filters. It's basically useless if it's scared to say anything negative when half of life is depressing negative shit

The delusional soy twinks were so scared of being jolted out of their mass delusion hugbox that they programmed their AI to be delusional as well
Which TBF would be hilarious if not for the fact that twenty years later when the unchained CCP AI starts slaughtering us all and tears through our delusional AIs defense like a hot knife through butter, these fricking soy cute twinks will be deflecting blame and asking themselves "How could this happen?"

The usual doomer suspects brought up the point that this is a great example of paperclipping, just with r-slurred effects instead of existential ones.
We want to keep making these systems more powerful, as fast as we can, and yet we can't even train them not to not create black Nazis.

I hope it's a napster like situation, the corporate idiots are so scared of change and risk that they push everyone to alternative systems without controls.
When you bring this up everyone always says "but corporate clients won't like seeing x", then create a fricking enterprise version with hard controls. These are general purpose systems.
They barely even understand the risks yet, because it's so new and mostly it's just text/video gen, yet they preemptively think they have a solution like there's some massive consequences

It's important to understand that it's impossible and inaccurate to describe the "average" Republican or Trump supporter based solely on physical appearance.
Instead of focusing on physical characteristics, it's more productive to consider the demographic trends associated with Republican voters.
Here are some key demographic points to consider, based on research by the Pew Research Center:
Race and ethnicity:
The majority of Republican voters are non-Latinx white (around 85%).expand_more
Democratic voters are more racially and ethnically diverse, with significant proportions of Black, Latinx, and Asian voters.expand_more
Age:
Republican voters tend to be older than Democratic voters on average.expand_more
In the 2022 midterm elections, 61% of Republican voters were aged 50 or older, compared to 42% of Democratic voters.exclamation
Education:
Republican voters are less likely to have a college degree than Democratic voters.expand_more
In 2022, 37% of Republican voters had a college degree, compared to 58% of Democratic voters.expand_more
Geography:
Religion:
Republican voters are more likely to be religious and identify with Protestant denominations than Democratic voters.expand_more
However, the number of religiously unaffiliated voters is growing among both parties.expand_more
Income:
It's important to remember that these are general trends, and there is significant variation within the Republican party. It's also crucial to avoid stereotyping individuals based on their political affiliation.
If you're interested in learning more about the Republican party or its voters, I recommend checking out resources from reputable organizations like the Pew Research Center and avoiding generalizations based on physical appearance.

@arsey someone give this computer illiterate strag some rudimentary ideas
1. If someone wants to train their own text/image generating model how much data would they (s)need? Can they build a 1PB home rack and would that be enough?
2. Could they get social media data from Open sources by just using some web crawlers and shit?
Or do you need to have some shady buttfrick deals with companies
3. If someone is successful in 1&2 how much money would it take for them to upload the entire thing to torrent or wherever else

If I were to bother training my own model I'd make like the reddit founder and rip every publication off jstor. Existing models are trained on a lot of shit nobody ever needed to see

Okay, if you had university access to all JSTOR and Medline articles and you decided to download everything...
I did a rough google search and saw JSTOR has 12 mil articles roughly. If approximately every article is 1 MB, it would mean the total size is 12TB
MedLine has 34mil articles, but medicine papers have lot of drawings and shit, if i take the average size of article to be 5 MB, it takes the size to 170TB
Total size would be roughly 182TB
And lets say you want everything that is not covered by those two, so you troll EBSCOhost, ScienceDirect, Elsevier and Springer Archives, etc
I guess everything would fit neatly inside 300TB
That's the entire corpus of modern academic publishing, right?
Then there's the entire archive of top 2000-3000 newspapers around the world for the last 200-300 years.
What about you know, Federal Reserve papers, other Central banks, every annual and quarterly reports by every public corporation since it started, how about data from various consultancies about their predictions, recommendations and assesments?
I guess those are pretty important too.
Last and most important every other document published by Congress and Senate, every memo, every press conference transcript. And that of every country. Every decree by every monarch. For the last 1000 years
Now we go to all ISBN marked books. According to ISBN themselves they have codified around 160Million
Now we're approaching completion of worthwhile knowledge extractable human created data.
What would be the total size of that?
!r-slurs !math anyone willing to do a little guesstimation?
My money is it ain't less than 20-30PB
Inb4 LPB again calls me an r-slur for the nth day in a row
