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.

It's working, too. The Forbes article which I saw posted either here or on Kbin didn't even push back on Huffman's claim that traffic from LLMs was the reason for the price hike, and I haven't seen any big publication use the audio or transcripts showing a slam-dunk case of slander (or libel, whichever one applies to text) against the Apollo developer.

The problem with the libel/slander is unless it falls into a few categories of what's called per se defamation, you're required to prove damages. (From the libel's/slander's damage to your reputation, not from something like Reddit's API change destroying his business.)

slander (or libel, whichever one applies to text)

Easy way to remember: Slander is Spoken. (They both start with S)
