I'm ok with real human beings reading my wise words on HN and growing and profiting from their infinite wisdom. I am NOT ok with scrappers copying my comments and using them to train LLM or, indeed, for anything else that's not a human being reading it on HN.

does it actually matter? The potential of AI outweighs anyone's individual concern, privacy, copyright. In reality, AI companies will just pay the fines and take it anyways.

  yes, according to GDPR, it does matter. Also I doubt that HN has a clause in their ToS saying it's ok for anyone to scrap the site and use the data for commercial use.

    The argument is it is fair use, which a ToS can't deny you.

      Fair use is a US-ish legal concept; some other countries have explicit allowances for ML training for research.
