The CEO of AI search company Perplexity, Aravind Srinivas, has offered to cross picket lines and provide services to mitigate the effect of a strike by New York Times tech workers.
Why do all the AI tech people have extremely punchable faces?
Most scabs do
MostAll scabs do
I wouldn’t punch him with that crash helmet on
Wait, sorry, that’s his fucking hair

Okay, so people will finally stop telling me how amazing Perplexity is, right?
Believing your own hype is acceptable, to a point. Realistically, you kinda have to when you’re the CEO of a company that makes a product many experts are reasonably skeptical of.
The key is to maintain a bit of objectivity and know the limitations of AI. What may seem like success would only turn out to be a PR disaster for Perplexity when it failed. Other AI CEOs know this. That’s why they’re not lining up outside the Time’s office to promote their services.
Ultimately, this only makes Srinivas look like an overexcited kid who doesn’t truly understand his own product.
I think the real dick move is offering up their services as digital scabs.
Yeah, that doesn’t help, either. Bad move both ways.
scab cunt
Except it’s their IT staff not their journalist. How is your AI going to reset the server.
Lmao
So that the NYT website can crash twice as fast?
Imagine being a high-ranking NYT exec, watching a computer hellbrain churn for a few minutes and spit out a five letter word.
“See? We can help!”
