A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That will become necessary soon, since their "business model" lost it's meaning after the LLM's
Lol I doubt it. LLMs are useless for the kinds of questions stack overflow is useful for.
And no SO means worse LLMs. Chatgpt relies on scrapes of SO, reddit, forums and GitHub discussion pages.
And the scrapping stage already happened. A new one will be useful only after enough human-made content is added, or it a major change in tech happen.
It's not like ChatGPT is the only LLM. GPT is pretty broad and general. Remember that MS has Co-Pilot which is literally entirely built on GitHub's codebase knowledge. Different data sets will produce different kinds of useful predictors.
I've had great success with LLMs troubleshooting my code independently without needing to consult a peer.
It's easier than looking on StackOverflow because it already crawled the answers there and it's been programmed to drop the sass unless you ask it to be sassy specifically. All the knowledge without the elitism.
