A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Personally I think this is a good response. I hope they stay true to it in the future.

You said that the author 100% completely outsourced his job to AI, which is such an absurd exaggeration of the truth that assuming you didn't read the article was me being generous. Apparently you read it then just lied. Sorry for the confusion on my part, I assumed that you were just an idiot instead of a malicious idiot.

The article says nothing to contradict my statement. The only thing that did was the author's statement themselves, which, if you just took their word for it without asking yourself any questions then you're the idiot.
