>>108809152My favorite is when you asked how to solve a specific problem in C++, and they replied that C++ sucks, use Python instead, and then explained how to solve it in Python. Many such cases.
Wait, this isnt THE CHAINLINK Sergey N.?
>>108809191No!
>>108809180That was the reddit karma bullshit bleeding over into useful sites. Once you start "gamifying" your web2.0 submissions, weird neets would hang around all day karma farming easy questions. And when they run out of easy questions, time to start forcing your question to conform to something they can answer and get updoots on.
>>108809152I too chungus on the internet.
>>108809152Why are people cheering on the downfall of stack overflow? I remember when i tried to use formalities in my first post and they were automatically removed, I then understood the purpose of the platform which is to provide an encyclopedia of common tech problems. It is still a useful resource because it's still faster most times than using LLMs and still more accurate.
>>108809282This 100%
>>108809152SERGEY BETRAY
>>108809152>>108809170indians took over and made it suck.
>>108811565ie if there's a vote, then there's izzat, and then there are izzat gangs.
>>108809152>I need help doing this, I can’t get it to work>that’s because it’s the wrong/a poor way of doing it, do it this way instead>no my way is right I just have problems, fix it for me>fuck off
deserved, fuck that place, thank god for llms, I'm the one who does the bullying now.
>>108809786It’s dead, Jim. I used to get a residual 1500 points or so per year from existing answers. Last year I got less than 200
We used to sneed the feed.
>>108809786>I then understood the purpose of the platform which is to provide an encyclopedia of common tech problems.This is exactly the type of service that AI makes obsolete. The owners are losing users and will eventually resort to selling that encyclopedia to be digested and shat out by the chatbots before shutting the website down. Every major repository of user-generated information will end up doing this. Leddit was the first one to do it. 4chan will tooWebsites you once enjoyed browsing and exploring will no longer be accessible. Instead you'll just get a chatbot that chops up and remixes bits of their content over and over again. That'll be the nuInternet.
>>108809786>it's still faster most times than using LLMsIt absolutely is not.>still more accurateDebatable.
>>108811676not really, SO was available to everyone, and was searchable for minimal cost, whereas AI will be controlled and enshittified, and running it yourself requires a lot more than searching or even archiving SOfurthermore with raw SO posts you could judge the quality and source of the informationat this rate we will soon only get AI mystery meat info
>>108809152Uhhh price? Oh, and chart?
>>108811796You're looking at it solely from your own perspective. It's a great format for you and those like you. But you're a tiny segment of the population. 99% of people can't even verbalize the problem well enough to search it, let alone read through several possibly related, highly technical answers to find the solution. Now a chatbot will instantly shit out what looks like a good answer to dumb people. This is what engages hundreds of millions of monthly active users as opposed to hundreds of thousands. And captivates billions of dumb people's crude imaginations. Stackoverflow cannot compete with that. They will have to sell their knowledge database since that's the only thing of value they haveleft.
>>108811853>You're looking at it solely from your own perspectivenot rly, as I said it has consequences for everyone, they are just not felt yet.
>>108811796>not really, SO was available to everyone, and was searchable for minimal cost, whereas AI will be controlled and enshittifiedyou forgot to mention: expensive, more than it already is.
>>108809170ligma balls
>>108811871Most people don't even know stackoverflow exists. It only affects people like you
>>108812017you already said that
>>108811676>Websites you once enjoyed browsing and exploring will no longer be accessible. Instead you'll just get a chatbot that chops up and remixes bits of their content over and over again. That'll be the nuInternet.they won't be able to make any content if they don't get ad revenue. There will be no new content. LLM's will regurgitate same old information from 2020s forever.Same with stack overflow, good luck solving new problems once it goes down and AI can't find solution on internet.
>>108809152>ask how to do X with Y>WHY DO YOU NEED TO DO X? YOU SHOULD BE DOING Z OR Λ>You should ask yourself why you even need to do X, Ω is a far more elegant solution.>DON'T DO X in Y, HERE IS HOW TO DO X in ΣI stack overfloweth.
as shitty place like SO is, i noticed people who hate it are always barely sentient retards who don't know how to use it and ask same retarded shit asked 100 times before.
>>108809152I've been told (well, not recently) many times to use Stack Overflow, but I have never met someone who actually liked the site. Every time I've complained about it here or irl I've been told my complaints are valid and everyone there is an asshole. lol. Good riddance.
>>108811590You do realize the points have no value, yes?
>>108812724You do realize that points are a good metric for active userbase, yes?
>>108809786as you know, LLMs like Claude mostly take from stackoverflow.the fact that people would rather use an automatic search that pretends to talk to them instead of searching for solutions manually or posting a question, isn't really a "downfall". without github and stackoverflow LLMs wouldn't be able to function nearly as well. >>108811676>people will stop shitposting on 4chinz because LLMs can regurgitate postsgm to you too sar
>>108809210Sergey-sama...
>>108812746anon, you were crying.
>>108812650i take that over>you are absolutely correct, let's screw this nail in with pliers
Since I've moved completely to ChatGPT as my web browser I no longer remember any URLs or even how to use internet search bars. I just ask the AI what I want to see and it feeds me.I have successfully outsourced my thinking to the blessed machine. Praise the Omnissiah
>>108809152>picYeah, i'm old enough to remember when the fucking netiquette was a thing and yet i never got "humiliated" for asking help, unless you consider humiliation having to -dear god- ignore unhelpful/inflammatory replies. Usually just showing some reasearch work was sufficient for getting earnest support from genuine guys.
>>108809786>it's still faster most times than using LLMsHilariously false.
>>108809152Yeah I remember, really unpleasent to deal with, and once ai has reached a sufficient level I can get rid of you projected flesh masses.
