“This whole saga makes me genuinely embarrassed to follow this stuff. I just want a sub that has an informed opinion on AI, this is worse than crypto bro bullshit.”
“Every hype-man who posts vague tweets and hype posts should be ridiculed. Every clown who posts screenshots of said tweets on this sub should be ridiculed.”
““AGI is coming out next year” - this sub for the last 4 years”
some self aware highlights.
I don’t follow. Half-truths are lies in my book so it sounds like we agree that those claims are largely fabrications aimed to stir up drama (increase engagement) or deceive us (manufacture consent)
Either way, it shouldn’t be legal for any journalist to try to pass off unverifiable gossip as legitimate News.
I interpreted your original comment to mean “the journalist made up the leak.” I’m guessing from your response that you meant the insider source pulled it out of their ass.
I think it is a mix of both. Insiders exaggerating or making stuff up and journalists also exaggerating or straight up lying about having a source when they don’t.
