🥟 Chao-Down #69 StackOverflow charges for access to data, Microsoft and Epic team up to use GPT4 to analyze medical records, Google reorganizes Deepmind and Brain teams

Another company is looking to cash in on providing the training data to large language models.

Following the recent announcement from Reddit and Twitter to increase the prices to access their APIs, StackOverflow, the popular question-answering site for software engineers, is also demanding compensation when its data is used to train AI models and ChatGPT-style bots.

Any corporate large language model that has code-generation capabilities is very likely using training data that has scraped StackOverflow pages. These companies will now need to pay up or face litigation.

Which platform will charge for access to its data next?
