So they pulled a “reddit”?
These companies don’t realise their most engaged users generate a disproportionate amount of their content.
They will just go to their own spaces.
I think this a good thing in the long run, the internet will become decentralised again.
I don’t know. It feels a bit like “When I quit my employer will realize how much they depended on me.” The realization tends to be on the other side.
But while SO may keep functioning fine it would be great if this caused other places to spring up as well. Reddit and X/Twitter are still there but I’m glad we have the fediverse.
Individuals leaving don’t have an immediate impact but entire groups of people?
People can see how that worked out for Boeing when many of their experienced engineers and quality inspectors left.
Well, reddit is doing fine so far. Shareholders are happy
I got an email ban.

Well, it is important to comply with the terms of service established by the website. It is highly recommended to familiarize oneself with the legally binding documents of the platform, including the Terms of Service (Section 2.1), User Agreement (Section 4.2), and Community Guidelines (Section 3.1), which explicitly outline the obligations and restrictions imposed upon users. By refraining from engaging in activities explicitly prohibited within these sections, you will be better positioned to maintain compliance with the platform’s rules and regulations and not receive email bans in the future.
Is this a joke?
Take all you want, it will only take a few hallucinations before no one trusts LLMs to write code or give advice

Because none of us have ever blindly pasted some code we got off google and crossed our fingers ;-)
Oh I didn’t consider deleting my answers. Thanks for the good idea
BarbraStackOverflow.I’d be shocked if deleted comments weren’t retained by them
I think the reason for those bans is that they don’t want you rebelling and are showing that they don’t need you personally, thus ban.
Of course it’s all retained.
It will not make a difference. The internet is free and open by design. You can always scrape the internet any time. A partnership will do nothing but make it a little bit more convenient for them.
How many trees does a person need to make one coffin…
It’s a metaphor for us killing ourselves in the processes of deforestation, not a story of someone actually making a coffin.
Angry users claim they are enabled to delete their own content from the site through the “right to forget,” a common name for a legal right most effectively codified into law through the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Among other things, the act protects the ability of the consumer to delete their own data from a website, and to have data about them removed upon request. However, Stack Overflow’s Terms of Service contains a clause carving out Stack Overflow’s irrevocable ownership of all content subscribers provide to the site
It reality irritates me when ToS simply state they will do against the law.
If this is true, then we should prepare to be shout at by chatgpt why we didnt knew already that simple error.
ChatGPT now just says “read the docs!” To every question
Hey ChatGPT, how can I …
“Locking as this is a duplicate of [unrelated question]”
If i was stack overflow I would’ve transferred my backups to OpenAI weeks before the announcement for this very reason.
This is also assuming the LLMs weren’t already fed with scraped SO data years ago.
It’s a small act of rebellion but SO already has your data and they’ll do whatever they want with it, including mine.
Letting corporations “disrupt” forums was a mistake.
Reddit/Stack/AI are the latest examples of an economic system where a few people monetize and get wealthy using the output of the very many.
Technofeudalism
See, this is why we can’t have nice things. Money fucks it up, every time. Fuck money, it’s a shitty backwards idea. We can do better than this.
First, they sent the missionaries. They built communities, facilities for the common good, and spoke of collaboration and mutual prosperity. They got so many of us to buy into their belief system as a result.
Then, they sent the conquistadors. They took what we had built under their guidance, and claimed we “weren’t using it” and it was rightfully theirs to begin with.
While at the same time they forbid AI generated answers on their website, oh the turntables.
"the AI isn’t good enough to answer questions yet, it needs more training "
“YOU HYPOCRITE!! If the A.I is too bad to use then why are you training it!”
Clean the damn mold out of your brain.
Maybe we should replace Stack Overflow with another site where experts can exchange information? We can call it “Experts Exchange”.
codidact … Stack overflow had a mass exodus of mods a 2-3 years ago and a some of them made codidact.
Expert Sex Change?
Also a market there. Especially among programmers. You might be onto something.
Among Rust devs? Absolutely!
