Seen on Bluesky:
Guy explains to CEO of Signal (messaging) that it's going to add "AI" to the service. She says no. He insists, not knowing or caring who he's talking down to.
He replied to her post about how signal won’t use AI and she said “we”. He 100% assumed a woman was a nobody so he paid no attention. This is all on him.
I think key context is that the guy is representing himself as having special knowledge about what Signal is doing internally and what they’ll do next.
It’s not “you bump into some rando on the street. Don’t you know she’s CEO of Signal??”
It’s “you’re giving a Ted Talk about Signal. The woman in the front row offers a correction and you’re like, ‘shut up, dummy.’”

If I found out I was talking down to a Microsoft exec when I thought I was talking to a regular employee, I’d double down.
I would have told them to bring back Clippy 📎 as an AI companion, but inappropriately erotic. 👠

Sometimes it’s obvious misogyny and sometimes it isn’t but this has the hallmarks.

Because nobody on the internet ever talks down to a man.

In general perhaps, but he literally said
This really makes it sound like he’s pretending to know what he’s talking about when he doesn’t.
