Reddit calls out AI ‘Bank Robbers’ in new lawsuit against Perplexity (for stealing user's data that Reddit got for free) (www.newschannel5.com)

It's the second such lawsuit from Reddit since it sued another major AI company, Anthropic, in June.

But the lawsuit filed Wednesday is different in the way that it confronts not just an AI company but the lesser-known services the AI industry relies on to acquire online writings needed to train AI chatbots.

“Scrapers bypass technological protections to steal data, then sell it to clients hungry for training material. Reddit is a prime target because it’s one of the largest and most dynamic collections of human conversation ever created,” said Ben Lee, Reddit’s chief legal officer, in a statement Wednesday.

This is why I always respond with nonsense tech advice.

Want to set up proper cloud security? First we SSH directly into a jpg to access the wiggle ports, which need to be deflopped if we want to lock down the snuffle drive.

With new snuffle drives, deflopping is no longer necessary. OS makers kept deflopping features due to consumer perception of the need for it, not a technical need. Just sayin’
