ITT you are the CEO of StackOverflow, how do you make more money now that LLMs are cutting into your profits?

I say we gamify the website.
>add a virtual currency, loot boxes/gacha mechanics, and a f2p live service model
>add paid cosmetics which you can add to your profile
>each season we will have a battle pass
>add several premium subscription tiers
>do collabs with famous IPs, like John Wick, Family Guy, Dragonball, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Naruto
>market heavily to children so that we have lifelong users
>pay influencers/streamers to stream our website and praise all the new game mechanics. People like xQc. He doesn't have any background in programming/CS? Who cares, just pay him to stream our website.
It's just that simple.

LLMs have all but replaced, and you're completely dellusional if you believe otherwise. Instead of waiting hours for people to give you shitty replies that don't answer your question, you get a good answer immediately for 99% of questions. Hell, LLMs will code most of the thing for you, instantly.

no one even knows what stack overflow is. I do software development for a fortune 100 company and have never used stack overflow. no idea what it even is. I'm guessing like some cloud repository for code?

You know, I’ve never actually had to ask a question on Stack Overflow. Either someone else already asked somewhere, looked at how others have done it in their code, or I figure it out myself. Most questions that haven’t already been asked and answered somewhere will cause an LLM to trip up and make mistakes itself. Essentially, if a question is worth asking, LLMs won’t do a good job answering it. StackOverflow already has a hard time moderating the constant flood of newbies who can’t figure out how to search for shit, but the usability of the site and profits aren’t necessarily aligned.

I guess if you actually know what you are doing, then you can try to vet the responses, but if you know enough to do that, you know enough to not rely on an LLM.

Yeah I think a complete pivot is a good idea. The big picture is that programmers are going extinct because of how good LLMs will be in the near future. I’m not sure of what exactly I’d do in Stack Overflow’s situation, but you could probably ask a LLM what to do desu.
>>
>>100165474
As CEO of StackOverflow, I’d focus on:

1. Integrating LLMs: Enhance user experience with AI-powered code completion, syntax highlighting, and automated code review.

2. Premium AI-assisted tools: Offer subscription-based services for advanced coding assistance, such as AI-driven code refactoring and optimization.

3. AI-generated content: Leverage LLMs to create high-quality content, reducing creation costs and increasing ad revenue.

4. Data analytics and insights: Provide data analytics services to help businesses optimize their AI adoption.

5. Enterprise solutions: Develop customized LLM-powered solutions for enterprises, such as AI-driven code review and compliance tools.

6. Partnerships and collaborations: Co-develop AI-powered tools and offer joint training and certification programs with LLM developers and industry players.

By embracing LLMs and diversifying our revenue streams, we can increase profits and position StackOverflow for long-term success.

Literally humans do that too you idiot. In fact, they do it more often. Ask them what they think about israel and pallestine, and they'll make up a dozen fake statistics and feed you a hallucination of an opinion that has no basis in truth, only in their own dellusions they've made up in their head.

Too complicated, just add AI answers along with the user replies like Quora did. Give them a stupid mascot name and wallah

Everyone will do that? No facts about that specific event are real? Well, isn't that a convenient defense mechanism, bubble boy?
>>
>>100170696
You’re asking them what they think, not for a specific fact. You ask someone what they think about magical tricycles and they’ll give you an answer, ask someone to describe its workings and they’ll just tell you to fuck off. LLMs don’t, they’d very confidently describe to you the mechanisms of said magical tricycle. They’re largely incapable of saying they don’t know something, or are incapable of responding adequately to a question.

>>100165474
you stop moderator being dick heads that close answers and point to irrelevant threads
you start answering the questions and not giving vague answers that are mostly orthogonal to the original problem
the latter is the hard part because you need to get your free posters to stop being idiots.

unironically a skill issue. You might as well be blaming google for not showing you the song you're thinking of when you search "do do do do do do do". Learn to use the right LLM and use it properly.

Everyone knows what stack overflow is, if only by just googling whatever. It's persistent. Helping your mom with the groceries isn't a fortune 100 company.
