A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

It was already trained on Reddit posts. It's just now they're paying for it.
Yeah Twitter and Reddit were probably a huge source of its original training back when their API was free. I'm pretty sure that's what made them lock it up and ruin everything. Now only companies who already have a ton of money can buy access.
...unless they just use a web scraper instead
