I would like to remind the world that you actually don't have to get into bed with OpenAI. StackOverflow was a beacon of resistance, but I guess their principles were for sale after all.
@emilymbender I just don't get poisoning the well, though? SO is often an invaluable source of information. Why scuttle answers there which are still useful for human coders so as to mess it up for LLMs? And why try to actively mistrain LLMs by posting wrong answers? It's not like the people posting answers there have been making money on those answers (I certainly haven't) so it doesn't seem like artists getting their work ripped off.
@philtor@emilymbender Really? I find this a completely understandable reaction. The contributors were betrayed, reacting angrily (and tactically) makes a lot of sense to me.
The weirder ones are the contributors that are just cheerfully carrying while being harvested like wheat.
