> Reddit has long been a hot spot for conversation on the internet. About 57 million people visit the site every day to chat about topics as varied as makeup, video games and pointers for power washing driveways.
>
> In recent years, Reddit’s array of chats also have been a free teaching aid for companies like Google, OpenAI and Microsoft. Those companies are using Reddit’s conversations in the development of giant artificial intelligence systems that many in Silicon Valley think are on their way to becoming the tech industry’s next big thing.
>
> Now Reddit wants to be paid for it. The company said on Tuesday that it planned to begin charging companies for access to its application programming interface, or A.P.I., the method through which outside entities can download and process the social network’s vast selection of person-to-person conversations.
>
> “The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable,” Steve Huffman, founder and chief executive of Reddit, said in an interview. “But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”
>
> The move is one of the first significant examples of a social network’s charging for access to the conversations it hosts for the purpose of developing A.I. systems like ChatGPT, OpenAI’s popular program. Those new A.I. systems could one day lead to big businesses, but they aren’t likely to help companies like Reddit very much. In fact, they could be used to create competitors — automated duplicates to Reddit’s conversations.
>
> Reddit is also acting as it prepares for a possible initial public offering on Wall Street this year. The company, which was founded in 2005, makes most of its money through advertising and e-commerce transactions on its platform. Reddit said it was still ironing out the details of what it would charge for A.P.I. access and would announce prices in the coming weeks.
>
> Reddit’s conversation forums have become valuable commodities as large language models, or L.L.M.s, have become an essential part of creating new A.I. technology.
>
> L.L.M.s are essentially sophisticated algorithms developed by companies like Google and OpenAI, which is a close partner of Microsoft. To the algorithms, the Reddit conversations are data, and they are among the vast pool of material being fed into the L.L.M.s. to develop them.

> Lovecraft was writing mostly for himself, and based heavily on his own phobias- fish, foreigners, old buildings. So a big part of the horror was based on his personal phobias.

> There's a telepathy issue too. It's fairly common for these entities to contact humanity via some method, pushing alien landscapes and values and feelings into their brains. This discordant telepathy causes many issues.
>
> So, if your brain is aligned right or wrong- due to science, genetics, alien influence, whatever, these aliens push their brains into yours which predictably drives you insane.

> Th’Olympian host conceiv’d a clever plan.
> A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
> Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

> Lovecraft's fear of monsters was based on a real fear of black people.

> Maybe because it shows, that things we thought as axioms may be just outliers from a higher perspective. That there is really no stability in universe, not a single safe place. It doesn't matter where you are. Either on the street, in your house or locked in safe you are always exposed. Exposed to beings, that we don't understand and, what's worse, that don't understand us.

>> How is that different from everyday life, exactly? Or at least everyday life for a human from before germ theory? When millions died from causes no-one could comprehend (and which obviously didn't understand us), when Aristotelean or Newtonian physics were the norm, both being outliers/vague allusions to General Relativity. Stuck in a universe where logic is provably unprovable.
>>
>> Not to mention some of us here are trying to create the closest thing to a Lovecraftian God that fits in our universe - a post-singularity AI - to prevent the summoning of a merely apathetic one which would kill humanity or worse.

>>> >How is that different from everyday life, exactly?
>>>
>>> There is exactly one way the real world is.  Lovecraftianism is an *attitude*, not a coherent space of counterfactual worlds.  Literally everything can be taken as Lovecraftian if you just apply the *attitude* to it that *anything slightly different from you, the author, is A HORRIBLE XENO YOU JUST CAN'T SHARE A FUCKING UNIVERSE WITH*.
>>>
>>> I mean, for God's sakes, if they can turn *My Little Pony* and *science* into Lovecraftian horror, then I think that's solid fucking proof that Eldritch Cosmic Horror is actually just the choice to scream and cry at the universe for not being optimized to your particular personal liking.

>>>> I don't think attitudes are as voluntary as you portray them in this comment. If you stood before a tentacle demon that wants to eat you, you would definitely start screaming.

>>>>> **u/None** [+2]  (a day later)
>>>>>
>>>>> Yes, for a tentacle demon that's trying to eat me.  For ordinary shrimp or fish, I might cook them.  For a four-dimensional differential manifold, I might go find someone who knows more math and physics than me.  For a talking pastel miniature horse, I might make friends.
>>>>>
>>>>> I don't have the Eldritch Horror Attitude, so it takes an actual tentacled demon attack to frighten me.

>>>>>> **u/chaosmosis** [+1]  *and with strange aeons, even death may die* (a day later)
>>>>>>
>>>>>> Sufficiently powerful indifference is not meaningfully distinct from malevolence. Getting accidentally stepped on by a giant monster and getting intentionally eaten by one are both scary possibilities to me. Humans are adapted to a very narrow niche, and things which are outside that niche are more likely to hurt us than help us because it's easier to destroy than create. Most supernatural spooks aren't going to want to be friends.

>>>>>>> **u/None** [+1]  (a day later)
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Look, if you observe something that you can successfully recognize as "supernatural" or "Lovecraftian", you're more likely to be a character in a story than to be dealing with a genuinely eldritch *lawful reality*.  In which case there's every chance that whatever it's been *told* it is by the author, it's almost definitely psychologically humanoid.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Most spooky spooks are people in rubber suits.  It's the things you don't notice and classify that get you.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> And if you think human minds are so narrow, weak, and stupid, I'd love to see you build one.  Otherwise, please, have some respect for the first human souls ever to exist in the ancient depths of the Pre-Recursive Era.

>>> The difference is that Abrahamic religions really go out of their way to set up an awesome God.God is not just good, he's perfectly good. He's the ground for all safety.
>>>
>>> But now...God isn't God. It's this slimy, scaly thing that possesses all the horror of God with none of the anthropocentric bullshit.

>>>>
>>>> So basically, what you're really saying is, you're more scared of seafood and reptiles than of things you have every reason to run away from, and yet every knowledge that you *cannot possibly* run away from?

>>>>> **u/NotAHeroYet** [+2]  *City of Angles Municipal Government* (10 hours later)
>>>>>
>>>>> Most people who believe in a god, believe it's theirs, like the cultists who summon chuthulu. yes, if you asked them, objectively, if each of the actions their god does are evil, without context, they might call them evil, still they delude themselves it's good. If they are a good person, the good afterlife awaits, with their all powerful god or gods that does things that they'd curse mortals for. Woe unto those who mistake evil for good.
>>>>>
>>>>> [assuming psudeo-abrahamic god now. not getting into massive pantheons or reincarnation cycles]
>>>>>
>>>>> the others don't care. might makes right, and God is the mightiest of all. if you follow his rules, you're safe. old testament, it was probably terrifying, but now, the rules are actually plausible enough to ensnare people. He promises everything people want, immortality included, and if God were real, serving him might be the most rational action for a sociopath. He's irredeemaly alien and mostly malicious to humanity, but if you play by his rules, you can have eternity for yourself, and he's the monster protecting you.
>>>>>
>>>>> Part of the lovecraftian fear is it doesn't have rules, really. there isn't a way to escape, isn't a way to protect yourself. not like demons, with circles of salt, or fae and cold iron, vampires and (sunlight, OCD, holy water, fire). not like god and angels, who if you follow his rules, you'll get the afterlife, even if it doesn't protect you now.
>>>>>
>>>>> Lovecraft's gods are unpredictable, and uninterested in ruling. That's the difference, if there is one.

>>>>> **u/None** [+2]  (12 hours later)
>>>>>
>>>>> You can't run from either. God maintains the pretense of morality, which is more comforting.
>>>>>
>>>>> Even if he's a dick to you like he was to Job he still nominally maintains love of your eternal soul. With those stakes who gives a fuck about pettier shit?

>>>>>> **u/None** [+3]  (18 hours later)
>>>>>>
>>>>>> Lovecraft's own protagonists seem to do a remarkably good job of both running and hiding from Lovecraft's whatever.  They never have to deal with the shit that Jonah, for example, did.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> Also, God maintains nominal love of your eternal soul?  Ok, normally I try not to openly diss on things that are actually important to real people, but *you've gotta be fucking kidding me*.  Oh jolly wonderful, the soul can spend eternity in fully-aware but fully wireheaded praise and contemplation of God Himself!  Such love, many eternal, wow so good.

>>>>>>> That's not why you shouldn't try to openly diss the idea of God keeping your soul.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> You know what's an even better reason? Who cares? It's a psychological explanation, not the opportunity to re-litigate that particular ancient issue.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> I'm an atheist for a reason, yet billions of people seem to find comfort in exactly the sort of thing you find disturbing here. So are we to eschew any attempt to explain something that uses that fact?

>>>>>>>>>>>> **u/None** [+1]  (22 hours later)

>>>>>>> My family is Hindu - I'll give you some examples:
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> 1) if you bother a sage who has spent years meditating, their gaze turns you to ashes (not as punishment, just because they've had their eyes closed for so long that their gaze holds tremendous divine power).
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> 2) Shiva and Durga both have "chaotic" forms (Bhairava, Kali). I've heard one myth where she's angry that a guy saw her naked, so she destroys the previous universe in a rage. (and there's an entire story of how she was made to calm down and not destroy the gods themselves)
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> 3) I definitely know a few - not many, but a few - people who have a superstitious fear of not doing puja (because they think they'll be punished by god if they don't)
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> 4) Holy men, Hijras, and other "magical" people can both bless and curse you.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Those are just the examples I've personally been in contact with. If we delve into academic links on Hindu, Greek, Norse, the various surviving hunter gatherers, I'm sure the number of examples will expand beyond count. Pretty sure Magic is not safe (which seems to be a default human perspective) usually creates  Holy is not safe. Although I suppose Christianity has a more rigid good-magic vs evil-magic perspective than others.

>>>>>>> **u/Tirran** [+1]  (23 hours later)
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Just read through the Old Testament. If you worship him in the wrong way or do the wrong thing in his presence, you're dead with no appeal. He instantly killed his first priest's two sons for sacrificing the wrong thing to him. He ordered his prophet to kill 400 some priests of another deity from the same pantheon. When one of his appointed kings refused to finish a genocide, El stripped him of his rank and then had his prophet finish the genocide himself. Holy is not safe.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Edit: found what made you think YWHW was safe, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moralistic_therapeutic_deism
>>>>>>> It's a common misconception

>>>>>>>> **u/TimTravel** [+3]  (23 hours later)

>>>>>>>> Uh, I was the one saying that in Judaic mythology, holy is *not* safe, but in fact very dangerous.

>>>> **u/OrzBrain** [+2]  **Fingers* to *dance*, *hands* to *catch*, *arms* to *pull** (a day later)
>>>>
>>>> As a child I once skimmed the Old Testament out of curiosity. Besides the boredom and my annoyance about not being able to figure out where the Samson story was hiding, I noticed a most *REMARKABLE* number of admonitions to fear God. I got the impression that worship was good but fear was an order of magnitude better.

>>>> **u/philip1201** [+1]  (14 hours later)

>>>> Yes they do. And then the Black Death or Mongols come to slaughter millions in various horrible ways without justification, and Galileo comes along and shows that the Church is not a safe haven for beliefs.
>>>>
>>>> > None of the anthropocentric bullshit.
>>>>
>>>> Anthropomorphisation is in the map, not the territory. That we've managed to make humanoid gods out of natural events beyond our comprehension, and even a single one which does literally everything even when a sane person would consider if to be working at odds with itself, is a testament to our ability to anthropomorphise and deal with things even when it doesn't fit and we don't understand them at all.

> I've heard this before. The best reasoning I've heard is Lovecraftian monsters move through extra dimensions. Presume you were 2d in a 2d world, and a crazy complex 3d object intersects your 2d plane. You don't know what it is, it keeps changing in size/shape/mass completely at random, and it's hostile. Humans are scared of things they can't control, so if the subject can't escape an unpredictable hostile *thing*, loss of sanity is reasonable over time

> Non-Euclideanness is actually not that hard to understand. The surface of a sphere is a non-Euclidean geometry. "Straight" lines can intersect, if you follow a single straight line you will eventually reach the same point you started at, triangles drawn on the surface will have internal angles adding up to not exactly 180 degrees, etc. These are not exotic things that are impossible to visualize or would even tax any person's mental faculties. I'm unsure what part of contemplating this stuff would actually drive anyone insane in reality.

And I wasn't imagining a literal physical collusion between objects, but a more passive change in the way they are put together next to each other. Also, it's not just spatial warping, necessarily, but the warping of other related laws of physics too.

>>>>>> If all of physics was adjusted by a constant, it would be the same as if nothing were adjusted, and observable anomalies wouldn't be possible. So instead, different aspects of physics get distorted to different degrees. The connections remain intact, but the space between the connections is adjusted. The topology doesn't change, but huge and important changes occur nonetheless.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> I'm imagining, for example, something that alters the path which light travels along, even without making proportionately sized changes to the medium through which light travels. Or something that very slightly alters changes the speed at which chemical reactions occur, without changing the speed of electricity within the brain. Any sort of inequivalence you like could be used as an example.

>>>>>> If half your brain were inside an event horizon and the rest outside of it, and magically you didn't die, your brain would not work as it normally does. Instead, half your brain would be working much too fast for the slower half. So, imagine something like that, but applied in other ways as well, and with more subtlety.
