June 2023 Data Dump is missing
What irks me about this is that 100% of their data is provided for free, by the community that they have fostered, the people like myself who have answered &gt; 2500 questions[0], and now SO feels hard-done-by by LLMs using all <i>their</i> hard work to create tools like CodeGPT, GitHub copilot, etc.<p>Were it really a site for helping developers to improve their skills and increase their productivity through the give-and-take model that SO was, at least once upon a time, SO should perhaps take a deep breath and realise that this might not change a thing apart from causing their contributors to feel like they were never part of it in the first place.<p>I&#x27;m not sure if I&#x27;ve correctly articulated that, but I do find SO&#x27;s stance to be quite revealing. It feels to me like they&#x27;re crying foul that ChatGPT and the how many other systems out there are stealing their revenue. None of the contributors (apart from the employee ones, I suppose) ever got paid any currency other than high-fives in the form of rep, medals, the gamified stuff, moderation rights, and at certain rep levels some swag in the form of t-shirts and the usual.<p>I never wanted any money from SO, but the revelation of this attitude has left me feeling, well, a little sad to say the least.<p>[0]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackoverflow.com&#x2F;users&#x2F;70393&#x2F;karim79" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackoverflow.com&#x2F;users&#x2F;70393&#x2F;karim79</a>
