This is funny. OpenAI, who scraped the entire internet to build its product, is now enforcing copyright via notices. They still don’t give credit for stealing content from everyone, yet now acting like holier-than-thou https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1cnvyzp/

Everyone should immediately stop contributing to the stack overflow and its network. The human touch is what made it unique. Delete your profile from SO AND all your answers. Freeloaders are making money out of human contributions.

OpenAI, Mircosoft, and Google together kill the open web. Thousands of independent blogs and forums are now nowhere in search engines or pushed back to page two to support their AI and partnerships with Reddit, StackOverflow, and more. Many humans contributed to these sites hoping to build a knowledge base for humanity, but now greedy people like Sama and OpenAI are taking over everything.

@mozz It seems that some top-level executives have already departed and are keeping quiet about their departure. They were part of coup that attempted to remove Sama as CEO, but their efforts failed. Sama is not someone to be mess with; he is a politician and businessman, first and foremost. Although he doesn't write hardcore code, he is very well-connected. He has even managed to secure a position on a government AI agency that is responsible for regulating AI. LOL.
