His golden parachute value is tied to the stock value of the company, so of course he doesn’t care about long term projections, only short term while he’s still at the company for a couple years.

Ah yes the same evil capitalism that:

  1. Allowed SO to exist in the first place
  2. Have market incentive to get anywhere near as good as they once were

Do you have a better system in mind?

Shh the people are frothing at the mouth. Protect yourself and your own, grab the popcorn and enjoy the show. I think we are pretty much past rationalizing.

I really want to make a “closed as duplicate” joke about yet another billionaire being stupid and tanking their site.

The Stack Overflow user interface doesn’t understand Stack Overflow if “closed as duplicate” is so common. A wiki would have been better instead of a Q&A site

At this rate, this AI bandwagon will ruin a whole lot of our beloved places.

The real problem is honesty of the users and rewarding system. Why do people copy and paste answers from chatgpt? Or even spend time to create bots? Because there is some kind of reward for them. The reward is what needs to change. The reward is the driving force to “cheat”. Why are these people doing it? What’s the reward they are after? I have no idea. But there is the problem to solve
