I wonder if the owners of YCombinator have sold all comments to Big Tech for A.I. training.

And how long before Google and Microsoft add to their T&Cs that all your anonymized email will be used to train their A.I.?

Not sure if you're serious but a) all HN data is publicly downloadable and used by frontier labs and b) the origin of OpenAI tracks down to former YC CEO sama who was thereafter fired from YC

I don’t know why any company would pay. It can’t be that difficult to scrape this site and they already did it indiscriminately for years, violating laws and taking down public libraries and other public resources with no regard for their impact.
