There should be a rule where you can't over-represent a group of people in media headlines.
What percentage of 190,000 people called the CEOs response a dumpster fire?
What percentage of 190,000 are even aware of ChatGPT or Google's response to it?
- Liquidor 4y agoJournalism has been like that for a while now. Sometimes it's just as bad as when the media quotes a random tweet from a nobody as their source for "the people" or "the public".
- MuffinFlavored 4y agoexactly what i was also thinking of it's almost like they should be required to provide sources imagine if this headline said "30 out of 190,000 employees noisy/outspoken employees have an angsty opinion on google's CEO"
- kweingar 4y agoReminds me of news articles that quote a couple tweets with 2 likes and no retweets and declare that this is what the people really think.
- saagarjha 4y agoYou would have to be living under a rock to not be aware of Google’s launch.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoYou only need 2 Google employees to criticize Sundar for "Google employees call the response a dumpster fire" to be plausibly true. When things like this come out in the media, I generally assume n < 10. That said, you can add me as an Xoogler who thinks that Sundar is phenomenally bad at managing the company.
- hackernewds 4y agoWhy do you think so? That's a tall claim that could warrant showing your calculations. Curious as an outsider.
