Same reason for me. Take some of their time and say fuck you to them. But I will do crippling edits by single characters in one month time. I have time.
Comment on Stack Overflow Users Are Revolting Against an OpenAI Deal | WIRED
reversebananimals@lemmy.world 1 month agoI did on Friday and within 5 mins they suspended me and reverted them all. I knew they would so I didn’t care - I just did it so they’d see as many unhappy users as possible.
I then deleted my account. Fuck stackoverflow.

I’d assume they would provide a backup from before the announcement for the training.

I don’t understand why you and others are so mad about this. Stackoverflow is a great resource that takes significant time and money to maintain. I don’t have a problem with the maintainers making money by selling access to train AI on the data.
Having Stackoverflow as an alternative to reddit is important so that people aren’t stuck using reddit.

Yeah I don’t get this either. As long as they keep the main SO sites up and available, why should anyone care if they train AI on it? Deleting or defacing content is like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
