As an EU citizen, I'm using my right to deletion to get #StackOverflow to remove my data for me.
Here is the link to the form: https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request…

Something is fucked up.
#StackOverflow is now saying that #OpenAI's use of the data is governed by the Creative Commons license (and not "the other license" where Stack Overflow can do whatever they want).

What, exactly, is Stack Overflow's agreement with OpenAI?
It's difficult to know what, exactly, the accord between Stack Overflow and OpenAI is. Per the meta announcement: anything specific promised about how this will work here could change but that's ...

"One of the things that the #StackOverflow brouhaha demonstrates is that it doesn’t matter if a service was founded by people trusted by the community (Atwood and Spolsky) and was broadly community-led. If it’s a #VCfunded

Trusting VCs with community sites was the style of the time
It wasn’t unreasonable to trust Stack Overflow when it first launched One of the things that the Stack Overflow brouhaha demonstrates is that it doesn’t matter if a service was founded by people trusted by the community (Atwood and Spolsky) and was broadly community-led.

Is there already a fediverse alternative to stackoverflow?

Someone recently complained that #StackOverflow is “misusing” their answers for commercial purposes and now wishes to have all their content deleted under GDPR.
Here's the thing: Everything published there is #CreativeCommons-licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. If you don't li…

#StackOverflow bans users en masse for rebelling against #OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train #ChatGPT

My different take on #stackoverflow
Not all things are meant to last forever. Their impact was HUGE to developer space. It made programming so much easier and the model worked for over a decade plus! An incredible place to go learn and find answers when you ran into some most ridiculous problems at work.
Now, their traffic has been dying. They didn't jump to AI, they tried t…

The #StackOverflow #AI deal, and their reaction to the backlash shows, once again, that corps will gladly take people's good impulses (in this case, the impulse to help our fellow humans without expecting anything back in return), monetise them, and then act like the good impulse was meant to make …

The Stack Overflow rugpull is another data point in my head which discourages me from contributing *any* content to a hoard owned by a corporation.
I’m hoping that ActivityPub will one day enable SO-style knowledge bases in which the individual nuggets of content are owned by independent servers and cannot be purchased by anyone.

Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT
Stack Overflow is overflowing with salt.

Welp, it's official. All Stack Overflow contributions are simply grist for the AI mill. If you're still contributing there, it's probably time to stop. #stackoverflow

Bye, bye #stackoverflow

at the end, it´s always "Stack Overflow" 😂
#OpenAI and #StackOverflow partner to bring more technical knowledge into #ChatGPT

I'm never not gonna laugh at anyone making the remark that "Freeloaders are making money out of human contributions" with regards to #StackOverflow signing a partnership with #OpenAI. That's basically the entire foundation of SO, someone not in the know asks, someone in the know answers, and we a…

Who's going to be sifting Stack Overflow for relevance and accuracy before OpenAI incorporates it?
Or is this for an entirely new offering "All The Wrong Answers, But Not Necessarily In The Right Order"?

Ever wanted to do something with the #stackoverflow data dumps but found their multi gigabyte XML files too hard to deal with?
