A source for a piece of popular news that was covered by every single media out there and is only a quick google search away?

I swear, sometimes HN users can be so pedantic, they'll demand source that the earth is round or that the water is wet.

I used to be afraid that ChatGPT would make our jobs redundant, but seeing how people can't find basic info by themselves and need to ask humans to spoon feed them, I think I can breathe easily that our jobs are safe.

Without a citation, any statement of ostensible fact is just unfounded rumor.

The poster can't know what is ostensible to you and what isn't, and nor does everyone here have the time to post sources for absolutely every single statement they make as if they're writing a university research paper.

As a reader, if you're unsure of something, use common sense and in the age of powerful internet search engines and LLM chat bots at your fingertips, it's up to you to quickly check for yourself, and only ask the poster for sources when you were unable to find the corect information by yourself, otherwise it's a waste of everyone's time.
