| schestowitz[TR2] | The post about this forum being flooded by LLM slop was ranked +2, then within an hour -27. Then several more LLM pieces were pushed, right after a video was posted of Arvind with the bone sawer (MbS). There's very clearly astroturfing going on, as the LLM slop was boosted to +27 at same time the article about such fell from +2 to -27. | May 17 07:06 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Nah, it is not AI | May 17 10:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | So I’m seeing a bunch of people on LinkedIn saying, “Oh, the layoffs happened because AI is writing everyone’s code.” | May 17 10:47 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | No. We were all doing real work. | May 17 10:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Every single one of the 7,000 people who got laid off yesterday had a real job. We woke up with active projects, with tasks in progress - and then everything was suddenly cut. | May 17 10:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Not even our managers knew. Not even their managers knew. There was no warning. No planning. No transition. | May 17 10:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This isn’t about AI. This is a puppet show to drive stock prices up and down. | May 17 10:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Any company claiming AI is writing all the code now is straight-up lying to you. AI can help us write code - sure - but it’s nowhere near the point where it can replace a software engineer, let alone 7,000 of us. | May 17 10:47 |
