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.

He has literal examples of head count increasing due to this use of ai, he's not the idiot here.
Anecdote are not statistics.
Head counts increasing at one company are often offset by losses from their competitors as they take market share due to increased productivity.

Lack of anecdotes and data definitely isn't data.
There's an argument to be made here but the OP hasn't made it, just asserted a well written evidenced post is written by an idiot
