    Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own posts

    https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/stack-overflow-bans-users-en-masse-for-rebelling-against-openai-partnership-users-banned-for-deleting-answers-to-prevent-them-being-used-to-train-chatgpt

    Like just incredible "burning the future to power the present" energy here

      @chris Yeah. But for this to be true, we need a Stack Overflow replacement. And when Reddit went evil, the move to Lemmy doesn't seem to have succeeded as well as the move from Twitter to Mastodon.

      @mcc So developers will stop sharing information on #StackOverflow and future #Copilot and friends will be forever stuck in the past, answering questions about historically relevant frameworks and languages.

      Earlier today I edited my (small) set of Stack Overflow posts to add the sentence "I do not consent to my words being used to train OpenAI" to the end. Within hours, all these edits were reversed and I got a warning email for "removing or defacing content". I did not remove any content. If this small sentence is "defacing", it is a very minor defacement. In no way was the experience of other users made worse by me adding one sentence.

      To Stack Overflow, you are not a person. You are "content".

      Not only does Stack Overflow say you don't have a right to remove your words from Stack Overflow, according to Stack Overflow, you don't even have the right to decide what words Stack Overflow publishes under your name.

      In the meantime, I have been suspended for 17 hours to "cool down". OpenAI is so, so offended by me saying I don't want them to train on their content. Clearly I am very angry and need to sit in time out.

      Noticed this last detail only when I tried to edit my profile and discovered you can't edit your profile while "suspended".

      @glennf I don't think they view themselves as a "business" anymore. I think they now view themselves as an asset that can be sold to AI generation companies.

      @mcc AI sort of ate their business, so I guess they are returning the favor by feeding themselves to it. (I don't think LLMs provide an accurate alternative to Stack Overflow, but I think Code Pilot and other stuff shunted a lot of traffic.)

      @WomanCorn If the point of Stack Overflow is to be a block of programming-related text to sell to LLM companies, then it would actually be rational to ban LLM text, as it would poison the LLM inputs.

      huh. I thought the LLMs were already trained on StackOverflow.

      It's available under some kind of public license, I think. There are a bunch of clone page out there, anyway.

      @mcc an article went around recently about "rewilding" the Internet that made the analogy to clear cutting an old growth forest. You get incredible wood, but you can only do it once.

      @chris If I were actually trying to create a stackoverflow clone, I'd have the default license be something like "all code blocks are CC0 but all human text outside the code blocks is CC-BY-SA". That would I think match the unspoken expectations both contributors and readers have.

      @mcc So we’d be looking for Schrödingers license, allowing and forbidding closed derivative works at the same time :-)

      (I have a feeling that a lot of licenses only work because nobody has a close look at how their objects are used.)

      @chris I suppose one thing to consider is if a federated pool of knowledge is CC-BY-SA, then we only need a court ruling that OpenAI violates CC-BY-SA and the federated pool becomes AI-safe. Whereas SO can, (or already has) change the TOS so they own rights to relicense all content.

      …but of course, CC-BY-SA is also incredibly inconvenient for a SO clone because everyone will generally want to copypaste sample code!

      @chris I don't know. It's an interesting question because Stack Overflow is inherently more search-focused than Lemmy or Mastodon.

      A good model for a distributed/ownerless SO might wind up looking more like bluesky than mastodon.

      @chris And, of course, there's the weird element that the SO license *already* does not permit AI on a facial reading, and a distributed SO would probably be *easier* to scrape than the centralized one. So you're not actually preventing AI exploitation, you're only punishing one corporation (SO) for the AI bait-and-switch.

      @mcc I personally see less problem in scraping a federated pool of knowledge but I absolutely hate that stackoverflow now owns this knowledge and can keep people from using it but sell “AI” as a service to them.

      @mcc IIRC Mastodon is older than Lemmy and the current move to Mastodon/Fedi happened in multiple waves, so it may be too early for higher expectations.
      For stackoverflow I expect some degradation of quality since they accept “AI” generated content. This may additionally frustrate high quality authors and motivate them to leave. We’ll see.
      What would a federated stack overflow look like if we were to invent it?
