The stories of large sites selling their data to #OpenAI then seeing a complete crash of their traffic and userbase is both sad and a blatant tale of #FAFO that I struggle to feel empathy about.
StackOverflow went from 'partnering' with OpenAI to an utter wasteland in ONE YEAR.
What did they think would happen??

I still reference SO daily for my work. But how long until they have to take the entire site offline and we're left without this valuable resource? How do you even keep monetizing this? What a sad waste. StackOverflow had its flaws for sure, but it was an incredible resource of skills collaboration, knowledge collection and sharing. Hoovered up by #AI companies who will gate the information behind rising query token prices. The #internet continues to die and we're drinking the koolaid.
