Stack Overflow wants AI companies to pay up for training on its data, too.

The company is the latest to demand payment for training data, following Reddit and various publishers around the world. Wired has the story:

> “Community platforms that fuel LLMs absolutely should be compensated for their contributions so that companies like us can reinvest back into our communities to continue to make them thrive,” Stack Overflow’s Chandrasekar says. “We’re very supportive of Reddit’s approach.”

If you use #AltText, I have one thing to say to you.
Thank you. You may not get commentary on a post every time you write it out acknowledging that you did, but as someone who’s #Blind, trust me. We notice.
If you don’t write AltText on your photos, we notice that too. Please give it a try. Imagine how you’d feel if you came across picture after picture that looks like a blank screen to you. You’d be frustrated, right?
If you don’t know where to start, check out my pinned thread on AltText.
