I don't think Anthropic or OpenAI have spent the time developing a custom ingest pipeline for such a small dataset. It doesn't seem like it'd give much enough of a return on investment.
I dunno, we had 1.8 billion posts and 50 million comments from 1.1 million MAUs in June according to the fediverse observer. It's not normal.
Yeah, for them that's small potatoes.
Given that they are scrabbling around like drug addicts looking for anything they've split, including checking the cracks in the floorboards...
For some models, it's obvious they've long scrapped the erotic fan fic sites!
