    You're being disingenuous. The tweet was talking about asserting the existence of fake articles, claiming that a paper was written in one year while summarizing a paper that explic…

    Your workers are not less valuable than you. You should treat them better.

    >"285368737954-83645" is... well I have to assume somewhere in the 10-100K range? 83645 is five digits, so certainly in the ~10,000 range.
