How could a company like Stack Overflow reinvent itself in order to survive the crisis it is currently experiencing with regard to AI?

They should have started thinking two years ago

Stack Overflow was in serious trouble well before AI came along; the moderators killed it years ago. LLMs are merely accelerating its decline.

a dead end loop, apparently, applying not just to Stack Overflow but all similar content providers:

A. AI became "Intelligent" thanks to Stack Overflow

B. Stack Overflow collapse due to AI

C. AI cannot update/evolve due to lack of Stack Overflow

Who is going to produce mediated and revised ('good') content?

Human trainers. There are tens of thousands of people doing it full time for AI companies. Their mode of work isn't much dissimilar from answering SO questions. Just in a closed manner.

This take is ~3 years old and already obsolete. For the past two years RL flavours (RLAIF, RLVR, etc) have been driving the new models.

omg, thanks I did not know (I am obsolete, too :(
