If you ask ChatGPT to compose a layoff email with a quote from MLK that is the quote it uses (ref https://twitter.com/mattstratton/status/1618018859763798016)

Maybe she saw this tweet and that's where she got the idea?

When I saw the title here I thought maybe that tweet was satirizing her email, but, the tweet clearly predates it.

Amazing.

Huh.. not only the quote but also the promotion bit.

I'm shocked. Must be a case of her having read this tweet and subconsciously regurgitating it. Otherwise I'm scared for our eventual chatgpt overlords.

This Tweet was a response to her email

The tweet was from the 24th and the email is today though?

The Gizmodo article is from today, but the letter itself was posted the 24th.

Here's the original source: https://www.pagerduty.com/blog/improving-pagerdutys-operatio...

Here's a Tweet quoting it at 11am PST: https://twitter.com/noahchestnut/status/1617960469565931523

And the tweet in the parent was ~4 hours later at 2:52pm PST: https://twitter.com/mattstratton/status/1618018859763798016

Thanks that makes more sense. I thought the matrix glitched again.

> the tweet clearly predates it

Both were on the 24th. The PagerDuty post doesn't have a visible time but it refers to a town hall later in the day that was a couple hours before that tweet happened.

The author, Matt Stratton, used to be a devrel for PagerDuty. One imagines he had some inside information on layoff emails.

Ah, ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

Officially blaming Matty Stratton for this. :p

I tried and it does the same even in Spanish.
