Perplexity CEO's Offer to Replace Striking NYT Staff with AI Sparks Debate

The CEO of Perplexity, Aravind Srinivas, has offered to provide services during a strike by New York Times tech workers. The NYT Tech Guild announced its strike on Monday, citing unfair labor practices and demanding fair compensation. While some may see the offer as a solution to ensure essential coverage during the election, others view it as scabbing, which can undermine collective action and limit worker bargaining power.
