Stack Overflow is being inundated with AI-generated garbage. A group of 480+ human moderators is going on strike, because:
Specifically, moderators are no longer allowed to remove AI-generated answers on the basis of being AI-generated, outside of exceedingly narrow circumstances. This results in effectively permitting nearly all AI-generated answers to be freely posted, regardless of established community consensus on such content.
In turn, this allows incorrect information (colloquially referred to as “hallucinations”) and plagiarism to proliferate unchecked on the platform. This destroys trust in the platform, as Stack Overflow, Inc. has previously noted.
It looks like StackOverflow Inc. is saying one thing to the public, and a very different thing to its moderators.
On a positive note, Samy always gets upset he has to come in overnight while I sleep. He’s currently outside living his life long dream

Last year I set out to rekindle my reading habit. That went well. This year’s reading has been enjoyable, but I’m not cozy with the ratio of non-fiction to fiction I’ve read this year…non-fiction (especially of the computing persuasion) far out balances the fiction I’ve read. I think this is mostly because I’ve been mired amidst a fiction book that I’ve found to be a slog…but enjoyable, too. I’d have abandoned it and moved on, elsewise. Onward!

The issue was that there was a silent API update that kept addresses from validating states and provinces. Note that if your order placed, it’s all okay, this is only for people for whom the site would not let place an order.

I’m feeling pretty chuffed! Last week I wrote about my intention to make this website more accessible. My motivations were many-fold, but, primarily, mostly shame.
