Like many other technologists, I gave my time and expertise for free to #StackOverflow because the content was licensed CC-BY-SA - meaning that it was a public good. It brought me joy to help people figure out why their #ASR code wasn't working, or assist with a #CUDA bug.
Now that a deal has been struck with #OpenAI to scrape all the questions and answers in Stack Overflow, to train #GenerativeAI models, like #LLMs, without attribution to authors (as required under the CC-BY-SA license under which Stack Overflow content is licensed), to be sold back to us (the SA clause requires derivative works to be shared under the same license), I have issued a Data Deletion request to Stack Overflow to disassociate my username from my Stack Overflow username, and am closing my account, just like I did with Reddit, Inc.
https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request/
The data I helped create is going to be bundled in an #LLM and sold back to me.
In a single move, Stack Overflow has alienated its community - which is also its main source of competitive advantage, in exchange for token lucre.
Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow's former instantiation, used to fulfill a psychological contract - help others out when you can, for the expectation that others may in turn assist you in the future. Now it's not an exchange, it's #enshittification.
Programmers now join artists and copywriters, whose works have been snaffled up to create #GenAI solutions.
The silver lining I see is that once OpenAI creates LLMs that generate code - like Microsoft has done with Copilot on GitHub - where will they go to get help with the bugs that the generative AI models introduce, particularly, given the recent GitClear report, of the "downward pressure on code quality" caused by these tools?
While this is just one more example of #enshittification, it's also a salient lesson for #DevRel folks - if your community is your source of advantage, don't upset them.
说到今天白天在博物馆看到梵高当时学了 color theory。。
结果我晚上看到一个关于 oil pastel 的 color theory 介绍,里面的每个例图都是梵高

在试色,拿 Naples yellow 和 sky blue 混出来一个绿色,还蛮喜欢的,看起来像 pastel green.
然后反应过来我确实是拿 pastel 搞出来的 green
前段时间被推销了光纤网络,盒子到了网断了之后才发现整个 breaker box 不匹配,需要请电工换,不知道折腾到猴年马月去,就打算还是先用原来的供应商。
原来供应商的工作人员听了之后说:嗯嗯,我每年都换网络供应商,这样每年都算新用户,有折扣。
然后给了我一个折扣
我很喜欢梵高,但是又感觉喜欢梵高是一件很俗气的事情。比如我之前看的一国产电影,搞艺术的女主跟外行男主搭话就是:诶,你也喜欢梵高呀?梵高是我最喜欢的艺术家。我当时差点想吐,感觉就是编剧没有做任何功课直接把一个著名画家推出来用。
虽然但是,我最喜欢的艺术家也是梵高
梵高博物馆果然人又超多,让人有点紧张。我买票的时候往后六天的票都卖完了..估计不是旅游季,就是一直人这么多。
上次在奥赛被挤晕的时候问了在巴黎生活了二十几年的人,问巴黎是不是人一直这么多,她说是的,但是人在其中的时候感受不到,她前段时间搬到了别的城市才意识到巴黎人多的…
