Could AI be used to replace striking workers?
Briefly

AG Sulzberger expressed concern over the Tech Guild's strike, stating it was troubling that they would impede the NY Times' public service at a crucial election moment.
Aravind Srinivas from AI company Perplexity stated on X that their offer was not to replace journalists or engineers but to provide necessary infrastructure during high-traffic election coverage.
The tech workers' strike ended without a contract resolution, highlighting labor tensions and the challenging landscape for workers advocating for better conditions.
Srinivas' response to Sulzberger's critique received backlash, with many labeling him a 'scab' for attempting to replace striking workers rather than supporting their cause.
