But then people will go and like clearly post like fake pictures. Sometimes there will be funny ones where they'll be like, I'm at an Airbnb and you always know like things are whack there. Like it is like right up in like the absolute corner of the ceiling or something like really weird things. And they also are obsessed with the idea that you should never hang a TV over a fireplace.

Because they think it's too high. There's some amount of... If you're actively using the fireplace, it could damage the TV, which is somewhat questionable. And a lot of people don't actually use the fireplace. But, like, this is this sort of huge obsession. And so they're like... Here's a picture of my living room. And it's very obvious the TV is meant to go above the fireplace.

There's only one way to arrange this living room. And everyone's like, make it so that your couch is against the window. And they will do anything to get the TV not to go over a fireplace. It's funny to watch.

I would imagine that it behooved both parties very well, right? Reddit wanted to go public and it needed training. to make more money, essentially. It had been in business for a long time and it was still like not quite breaking even, I think. And it basically needed to be making more money in order to do that, to have made this deal.

I think it's $60 million per year with Google to allow Google to train its AI models on Reddit data. And I think probably some users were maybe uncomfortable with the idea of their words being ingested into a training model, but also you put those words on Reddit. What did you think was going to happen? I don't know. Google also, one way that these...

different companies making AI language models can differentiate themselves. It's like they desperately need more and more words, right? Like they need more content to ingest, to train the models to become better.

And everyone uses that and they've already gobbled that up, right? That's how like Wikipedia and a lot of other websites have been somewhat ingested.
