#Reddit CEO #SteveHuffman believes the company is a key player in the #AI boom due to its vast archive of #usergenerated @conversations, which are valuable for #AIsystems.

While I disagree with u/spez's actions, I understand his perspective. Reddit's most valuable asset is its curated text data for training Large Language Models like ChatGPT. Closing down the API protects that asset. He's likely betting that subreddit moderation will be solved with LLMs so the mods that generated that data are of little concern going forward. There will be only one chance to monetize this data asset.
The reason I disagree with u/spez's actions is because I don't believe this asset belongs to him. I'm sure he's protected from a legal perspective but from a philosophical perspective, when a user writes an idea on an online forum, they don't forfeit ownership of that idea. People who contributed to Reddit even 12 months ago had no idea their thoughts will be monetized and consumed by LLMs. We need laws to protect people's data and to democratize data assets.
I also wish u/spez would just be honest about what he's doing. Telling possibly career ending lies about developers and disregarding the mods that made Reddit is inexcusable. It's clear that Reddit has succeeded despite u/spez's leadership.

I owe #SteveHuffman an apology. I have written that he has bad judgement. He does not. He has LOUSY judgement.
Admiring the tactics of a demonstrated incompetent.
Post-Musk Twitter just had to close it Colorado office for not paying the rent for the last 3 months.

I read years ago that the most successful corporate leaders have high emotional intelligence and often think about the future.
The corporate culture of Reddit is to not think things through. Whether that is in how they handle *people* or lousy software engineering by not adequately testing capitalistic features like their automated site moderation which bans long term good users over mistakes.
#Huffman is a man of average intelligence who got lucky as a young adult with a web site he put up. He isn't a thinker.
He is a less successful copy of Mark Zuckerberg. They are both the Beverly Hillbillies of wealthy CEOs.

Just deleted my Reddit account. Done with their psychopath CEO; and done with corporate-sponsored social media 🤗
#Reddit CEO: Apollo-Related Subreddit Blackouts 'Will Pass,' No Significant Revenue Impact So Far
