    What kind of article is this? They misattributed a quote, then admitted the misattributed the quote, then doubled down on it, and then threw in a political message.

    People, this is rage bait. It’s yellow journalism. Don’t fall for this shit.

      What quote is misattributed? Also it appears to be a blog post, I don’t really think its intention is to report on the facts but rather provide analysis. Fuck OpenAI for this and many other things, the ire is well deserved.

          That’s not what misattributed means especially regarding a quote. It would be misattributed if they said someone else’s name. Anyways how is it wrong (or whatever you meant) to say that what he’s saying about an older version of similar tech is applicable to a newer iteration? Either way this isn’t a news article, it’s a blog post. Who cares if it’s editorialized?

            People who would rather hear the truth and not fancy lies that appeal to the masses.

              Okay. Have you tried looking elsewhere than a blog post that never claimed to be “the truth”?

              Anyways that’s a garbage argument. I’d like to know how you’ve been managing not to find anything opinion based in whatever corner of the internet you’ve come from. If you’re only willing to see things that are anywhere near “the truth” you should be reading an academic publication, not social media.

                I don’t get my news from tante.cc

                But the fact that I don’t use them for my news doesn’t mean that they’re not lying (“editorializing”) for profit, which is a bad thing for everyone who cares about not being misinformed since people, who do read trash like this, use this kind of ‘news’ as the basis of their opinions.
