When I get helper functions from stack overflow or similar, I normally add a comment with a link to the article, mostly for my own sake so if there’s any problems later I can re-read the article to get more info, or use it to try and find other solutions.
The links from that post and top comment point out that that initiative was dropped. It got mired down in bikeshedding from hundreds of opinions and SO eventually just said, “Fuck it.”
Thank you for your patience and feedback. The changes proposed here have been delayed indefinitely - we’ll be back later to open some more discussions.
The top comment from your link points out the current license:
TL;DR: Source code on SO is still licensed under CC-BY-SA.
I used to do that on complete copy and paste parts.
Now we aren’t allowed to do so. If stackoverflow.com is used you have to adjust the answer so that in court your code will not be a copy. They are afraid of users licenseing their code afterward.
For JS shit I usually have to rewrite them because they aren’t production quality in terms of readability. Still really useful for getting answers on obscure stuff
The quality is definitely varying, the hardest part is to find a example that fits what you expect, or looks like it can be refactored into what you need.
Considering all ghosts have different algorithms, and Clyde is probably the most advanced, switching between hunting and fleeing, it would be true, as probably nothing was so advanced in 1980.
Honorable mention to HL 1 for having more advanced cockroach algorithms in 1998 than some human algorithms in 2023.
Also, the Sarah Connor Chronicles seemed to be moving in the direction of preventing Judgement Day by befriending Skynet when it gained consciousness rather than trying to destroy it. Alas, the series got cancelled before its time.
There are A LOT of people training AI with faulty models that are learning from heavily biased data sets. Never underestimate humans’ ability to fuck shit up. For every genius that makes a technical breakthrough, there are thousands of morons ready to misuse it or break it.
