The truth is that #StackOverflow is already dead and OpenAI is merely paying for its funeral.

StackOverflow content was of course already widely scraped and used in training ChatGPT, which it why folks have been finding, surprise, that ChatGPT kind of works for SO-like questions covered by the pre-2023 era. When that supply of human-made content is exhausted, people will have forgotten about StackOverflow as a community and we'll be left with a wasteland of AI #slop and #slurry

‘The lough isn’t just dying, it’s been killed’ - a curdled mess of pollution chokes Lough Neagh

Meanwhile, a local farmer told me “we’ve got to get rid of a load of slurry, we’re only allowed to spread it till the end of the week” and today, with the rain, they’re all out spraying, so the rain will wash it away.

Intensive dairy farming is killing our island, grants and regulations need changed now.

"Pea soup lakes and rivers without fish" - is the whole concept of slurry a mistake? Should we find a different method? https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/pea-soup-lakes-and-rivers-without-fish-no-progress-in-ending-pollution-says-environment-agency/a1123719391.html #pollution #DeadRivers #Slurry

@KuJoe I’m still stuck on the prospect that microwaving icecream is acceptable for any amount of time lol #slurry 🤢 or is this to get it out of the container and into one’s bowl? I just leave it on the counter for a few minutes and then scoop away.
