It’s here and it’s called discord.


I have bad news for you if you think non paywalled / non phone# required discord communities are immune to AI scraping, especially as it costs less than hammering traditional websites as the push-on-change event is done for you in real time chat contexts.

Especially as the company archives all those chats (not sure how long) and is small enough that a billion dollar "data sharing" agreement would be a very inticing offer.

If there isn't a significant barrier to access, it's being scraped. And if that barrier is money, it's being scraped but less often.


Honestly someone should scrape the algebraic topology Discord to AI it'll be a nice training set
