    Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

    It’s worth noting here for context that:

    • scraping the outbound links is very different than all of the user comments, which would put more load on Reddit’s servers and also be easier to claim “belongs” to Reddit (it doesn’t but they argue otherwise)
    • this shows that OpenAI was not using, let alone abusing, Reddit’s API as claimed
