Stack Overflow must have had a pretty good one-over on OpenAI, because you know OpenAI is already training on that data, to leverage it into a partnership. Maybe OpenAI's lawyers are scared of the CC BY-SA license?

Now that OpenAI is successful and has shitloads of money then can just buy the datasets that they illegally acquired previously in a vain attempt to appear legitimate.
the old Uber tactic, classic.
That was my thought too. No way OpenAI hasn't been already crawling StackOverflow.
Wouldn't StackOverflow notice "open"Ais spiders?
If OpenAI wants to crawl the web undetected it would be trivial to do.
you dont even need to crawl it, you can just download it from SA.
