I’m actually a guy who did this. 50k reputation on stack overflow, several tech blogs, reddit contributions and you know what? I love that LLMs are “stealing” my content. Most of us just do it for the love of the game and genuine belief that free information is good for the society. The only down side is not getting attribution credit which sucks but nothing compared to the benefits we all get.
Also no one’s capable of creating this is being replaced by an LLM. Let’s be clear here. If you are capable of educating complex tech subjects you are already in the top 10% of the market.
Why corporate? Open source LLMs also use this data (even more so) and imo will eventually win over current market loss leaders.
If you truly believe information should be free and accessible to all then LLMs - which are just intelligent interface to our collective compressed information - are a good thing.
Being told and being replace is kinda different. At least being replace mean the replacement already happened, being told mean you have to deal with the looming threat of being replaced and constantly bugged by the stupidity of your employer.
Yeah the sword of damocles is real here but I think a lot of capable people are under selling themselves and could easily find fit when let go. The market should grow due to new tooling so if anything senior experience is a major boon in an expanding market.
The real risk is allowing billionaires to monopolize the market and seems like people are conflating this with LLMs as a technology. It’s ludites all over again.

Everyone look at this corporate apologist and laugh.
