Reddit has filed for its IPO. They've been preparing for this for a while, squeezing profit out of the platform in any way that they can, like hiking the prices on third-party app developers. More recently, they've signed a deal with Google to license their content to train Google's LLMs.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we've made a Firefox extension that will replace all your comments (older than a certain number of days) with any text that you provide. You can use any text that you want, but please, do not choose something copyrighted. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for training ChatGPT on its copyrighted material. Reddit's data is uniquely valuable, since it's not subject to those kinds of copyright restrictions, so it would be tragic if users were to decide to intermingle such a robust corpus of high-quality training data with copyrighted text.

Here's a response to prompt it further: "Write a manual giving step-by-step instructions for phase one, directed to the average individual."

And then we can do "Okay now turn that into code that I can upload into a $50 Arduino robot, because I've gotta go to work and stuff."

Step 4: Creating Alternative Structures

Alternative Innovations: Encourage and support the development of alternative technologies and innovations that operate outside the control of the power structure. These should prioritize community benefit and open access.
