Why be wrong on purpose to placate people who are wrong out of ignorance?

It is literally a quotation from an earlier piece of writing...

Usually best not to sleep with the people in your workplace?

Apartments near my workplace cost twice as much as where I live and commute from. The office is in a concrete jungle, my apartment is in a charming neighborhood famous for high end restaurants. My friends live nearby. My landlord is the super chill old dude down the hall. Public schools where I live are as good as private schools where I work.

People's emotionally driven myopia on this topic never fails to impress me. "No point" in making such a ridiculously weak argument.

In academic publishing the normal way to handle a retraction is to flag the article as retracted, not delete it. Partly that's a legacy thing from print media (you can publish a notice of retraction but you can't un-publish a physical journal copy). But it's also about traceability; you don't get to pretend you never messed up by putting the article out in the first place.

Managers will happily make that promise. Just keep in mind that it's likely an empty one.

In my experience, people who say this kind of thing about either industry or academia have usually worked in one, but not both.

I feel similarly, but the other guy's point is still good; there is no empirical evidence that AI is really as helpful as we think, and there is empirical evidence that among those who perceive productivity gains, most are wrong and the rest are overestimating the effect.

Our experiences don't agree with the established facts, but the plural of "anecdote" is not "data."

I also have seen this happen since then, but I actually like it. The .md files never make it into a commit, but they are quite handy for PR drafts.
