It's a very nice feature of a pretty polished frontend I haven't heard of before, I'll be sure to try it out!

Ah, so the "100% private" part is purely the recommendation engine.

This one is absolutely hilarious.

The guy allegedly knows his stuff from a technical point of view. And yet he searches for very specific info on google while logged in to his personal google account ~~and further links his personal accounts to a forum where he proceeds to advertise his darknet marketplace and to SO where he asks for very specific advice~~?

This muppet searched for very specific infos on components he wanted to develop on his *personal fucking google account and implemented them shortly afterwards.

He literally panic searched, again, on his personal google account on Google in order to debug his server going down - minutes after the FBI temporally took his server physically offline to grab an image from it.

I expected elaborate timing and traffic correlation attacks, I got a stupid scammer treating his drug empire as a hobby project for his resume. Glorious.

All use of generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT1 and other LLMs) is banned when posting content on Stack Overflow. This includes "asking" the question to an AI generator then copy-pasting its output as well as using an AI generator to "reword" your answers.

Ironic, isn't it?

It's not shared for public benefit, though. OpenAI, despite the Open in their name, charges for access to their models. You either pay with money or (meta)data, depending on the model.

Legally, sure. You signed away your rights to your answers when you joined the forum. Morally, though?

People are pissed that SO, that was actively encouraging Mods to use AI detection software to prevent any LLM usage in the posted questions and answers, are now selling the publicly accessible data, made by their users for free, to a closed-source for-profit entity that refuses to open itself up.

Basically the same story as with reddit.
