So they can add it to enterprise bundles, I'm guessing.

Advertising prescription drugs wasn't permitted until the mid 80's. For comparison, cigarette ads were banned in the early 70s.

Is that you, Area Man?

Until it isn't. Surely you don't think it will never be possible.

I take it you're not a developer. Used properly it's a huge time-saver. It does a lot of the grunt work while I do the thinking and planning and reviewing. I've been programming since 1980. After 44 years without it and 1 with it I wouldn't want to go back.

Until it isn't.

Presumably more. MT's user ID is from the 90s.That's when I signed up.

As usual, porn will drive acceptance. Within a couple of years 80% of porn will be AI. (This might turn out to be a wildly conservative estimate)

A whole crop of "influencers" and porn "stars" will soon be out of the business.

You miss the point. Perhaps your bias is blinding you. You said simply if trump signs a treaty the left won't like it. You didn't care to qualify it - as long as Trump signs it you're on board. I'm guessing you've also said something like "Trump could cure cancer and the left would be against it." Cutting research funding is not a good way to cure cancer.

Trump is a cancer on America. Even if you agree with his policies you should still be against the man.

You say that as if the terms of the treaty wouldn't matter.

Are you assuming his claim is true? He didn't get rich telling the truth. Three different AI apps have reached #1 this year. Deepseek, Perplexity, and GPT.

Apple already extracts those and offers to fill them in, so I don't think that will be an issue.

My company tried to buy them out. They responded:

Thank you for your interest in acquiring Stack Overflow. Unfortunately, your proposal has been closed for the following reasons:

• Too Broad: Your offer attempts to encompass infrastructure, talent, branding, and existential philosophy in a single transaction. Please narrow the scope to a specific, answerable acquisition.
• Duplicate: This is a duplicate of several prior offers we've already declined. Please consult [closed: Why hasn't Stack Overflow sold out yet?].
• Opinion-Based: Statements such as “We think we’d be a good fit culturally” are inherently subjective and not suitable for this kind of transaction.
• Needs Reproducible Example: You’ve failed to provide a line-item financial breakdown, term sheet, or any working prototype of post-acquisition community support. We require a MCVE.
• Unclear What You’re Asking: “Let’s talk synergies” is not a clear action item.
• Off-Topic: We do not currently accept offers relating to the acquisition of community-driven Q&A platforms. This belongs on corporate-takeovers.meta.stackexchange.com.
• Contains AI-generated Content: While parts of your proposal were cleverly worded, we detected traces of ChatGPT hallucination. Please edit the offer to reflect your own due diligence.

If you believe this closure was in error, feel free to [edit] your offer to meet community standards and flag for moderator review.

Maybe they wanted to broaden their palate. Try some foreign cuisine.
