Saber's AI Rideshare Stimulator controversy almost closes on high note with CEO apology, then he calls Portal scribe who mocked him an 'unsuccessful writer'
Why are you making me write this stuff?
The controversy surrounding Saber Interactive's AI Rideshare Stimulator almost came to a close today, when CEO Matthew Karch apologized for his hurtful comments about writer Stella Sacco's employment and abilities. Karch's apology came via a private message to Sacco, who had shared his remarks on Bluesky. In a LinkedIn post, Karch reflected on the controversy and seemingly addressed Portal writer Chet Faliszek, who had criticized Karch's actions in a 26-minute YouTube vlog.
Karch also took aim at Faliszek in his LinkedIn post, calling him an "unsuccessful writer" and referencing a video essay he had made about Karch's behavior. Faliszek's video, which criticized Karch's handling of the controversy, had garnered over 4,000 views at the time of writing. Karch's decision to engage with Faliszek's criticism, despite his earlier advice to avoid escalating the dispute, has now added a new dimension to the controversy.
