Boy oh boy, what a post. Somehow they managed to make it less clear than ever what they even want to do with the platform, here are my favorite highlights:
With the use of AI now ubiquitous and ‘AI slop’ rapidly replacing the content we see online, this trust gap is where we think Stack Overflow can play a role. Our renewed vision and purpose moving forward is to be the world’s most vital source for technologists. By providing a trusted human intelligence layer in the age of AI, we believe we can serve technologists with our mission to cultivate community, power learning, and unlock growth.
That’s some advanced corpo-speak, doubling down on AI but also acknowledging that people don’t like AI-generated answers and providing a “human intelligence layer” to “unlock growth”. Did an AI write this? Lol.
As AI becomes more pervasive, the efficacy of AI systems will increasingly depend on access to verifiable and accurate knowledge. That will extend to job opportunities too as people look for guidance on exciting career prospects, and this is why we aim to Unlock growth for those who come to Stack Overflow or use our products.
I can feel the growth unlocking the more of this I read.
Knowledge Ingestion converts high-value content from tools like SharePoint, Confluence, Google Drive, and others into structured, trusted knowledge inside a Stack Internal instance. It’s designed to eliminate silos, accelerate onboarding, and scale institutional wisdom.
I wasn’t sure I wanted to ingest knowledge, but now that I can eliminate all these silos, I’m sure that my team can finally gain some institutional wisdom. Also I’m having a stroke. Help-

I can’t wait for SO to finally give up and die.
It was cool 15 years ago, but they actively worked to just make everything worse.
