Do you really think that the only reason people would be turned off by this post by Rob Pike is that they are being paid by big AI?

No, which is why I didn’t say that. I do think astroturfing could explain the rapid parroting of extremely similar ad hominems, which is what I actually did imply.

Astroturfing means a company is paying people to comment. No one in this entire thread was paid to comment.
