       Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own postshttps://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-chatgptLike just incredible "burning the future to power the present" energy here

       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".

       @mcc 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.

       @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 inputs.

       You retarded bitch. Stack overflow was never about you as an individual, it is not social media, it was to help others.If contributors want to be cunts about their secret esoteric knowledge, they shouldn't have shared it to begin with.You gonna bitch because github allows public code to be processed for github copilot? Stupid retard.

       @WomanCorn @mcc I recently saw a screenshot where ChatGPT explains to the questioner how fucking stupid his question is and that he should first learn the basics before writing shit like that. Comment"Wow, they are realy using Stack Overflow answers!"

       @WomanCorn @mcc All the major LLMs, at least the ones focused on coding tasks, are already trained on a huge amount of StackOverflow discussions. This has nothing to do with their recent deal with OpenAI. SO is CC licensed, good quality text and easily available, so everyone uses it.

       @mcc This makes me happy because I think it will be the end of SO and I hate SO. I have posted good-faith questions there, after trying to find answers on Google, only to be told, "The answer you need was the first search result I got for 'neumorphic hysteresis.' I don't even know why you would ask this. Your question is vague and redundant. No one cares about what you want. You should change your name and hide forever. Have a nice day!"I'll be glad when it's gone.
