Apparently the value of all that shit posting is in powering LLMs. Something Stackoverflow, Reddit, Twitter are all upset about. Most likely all the image/art hosting sites and forums as well.

It’s a bit strange, on the one hand content is cheap, on the other hand it props up some very impressive tools (and valuations).

It feels like these two should be better coupled, but thats a problem I haven’t seen a solution to.
