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.

This is a good way to handle the situation and an understandable and believable scenario, so I'm perfectly willing to forgive this. I'm a little less okay with an apparent "work in spite of illness" policy, however.
But still, it's a serious blunder, and it needs to be said that any repeat of this at all would be very damning. I can't forgive this level of fuckup twice. Any AI use is a risk, folks; treat it like one.
When I first became aware of it, I did not expect this story to become a good case for worker's rights and ensuring everyone has enough rest but here we are.
