Lol you clearly have no idea what a 'neo-conservative' is or their history. Neo-Conservatives were a branch of Democrat wark-hawks who wanted to police the world, that were upset a…

Now if you got this far and are still thinking "yeah but I trust the Atlantic, they are the pinnacle of news and they don't need to show their work!" I would urge you to read the f…

"Jeffrey Goldberg was named editor in chief of The Atlantic in October 2016 and held the position as of November 2020. Prior to being elevated to the top editorial spot, Goldberg h…

The Atlantic: https://www.influencewatch.org/for-profit/the-atlantic/ "The Atlantic is a left-of-center literary, political, and ideas magazine that publishes ten issues per year. …

The last time this topic came up, I manually and then with AI analyzed 13 articles talking about 'read/write' access - and all of it was 2nd or 3rd party info from anonymous source…

I have a TBI which resulted in a number of chronic symptoms including decades of memory loss, although thankfully I retained my functional intelligence at least so I can keep worki…

I'm not sure if you replied to me by mistake or not, but this thread was about the out of context quote that even Snopes did not agree with the presentation of, that was from Trump…

This is true across the board - your 'local news' isn't local at all, and you'll notice that highlighted outlets include CBS, NBC, Fox, etc. I'm well aware of that clip, and it dis…

My bad there - I have seen Hasan Piker going on unhinged rants about it and I really am not a fan, so I think I saw Hasan and just starting skimming past to the meat of the story. …

Sorry glossing the story I misstated Hasan Piker -- my brain filled in the blanks bcause I saw him going on an unhinged rant about it on mulitple occassions and I try to avoid him …

Nitters up: https://nitter.net/search?f=users&q=elonmusk They just closed a single API which was also abused by botfarms. Closing the API immediately improved the site from a spam …

Since OP didn't find it appropriate to include the context, I'll do it for them: https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/10/04/trump-poison-blood-qu... -- not even Snopes agrees with this…

Well in this case CoPilot confirmed my own inferences, it wasn't just working on my behalf and 'doing a thing for me'. I was asking it to check the sources because I found every ar…

Scott Bessent OR David Lebryk could very easily confirm this story if it was true, and yet neither have. They have absolutely nothing to lose at this point, so that should be anoth…

Honestly the wired one should have gotten flagged too - it's as unsourced as the other 12: "Wired: Reports that Marko Elez, a 25-year-old engineer linked to Elon Musk, has direct a…

Blue geriatrics are the ones doing the damage... this is all made up, using circular references to anonymous third party sources. This is an active propaganda campaign with no basi…

I also decided to ask CoPilot for a probability this is true, and to explain it's reasoning. I think it's being generous... but it's a lot less than a coinflip: " given everything …

It's probably because absolutely no one is using real sources in these articles. I won't muddy the comments repeating myself - but I have been fascinated by how quickly people latc…

So altogether that is 13 sources -- and NONE of them have actually used any first party sources. AI (CoPilot) had to infer a first party source, who has NOT made this claim. You ar…

And in reference to: https://www.rawstory.com/musk-treasury-doge/ Sure, let's break down the key witnesses and their claims: David Lebryk: Former acting Deputy Secretary of the Tre…

The below is in reference to this article (also posted in HN) https://newrepublic.com/post/191117/elon-musk-25-year-old-ai... I did the same manual analysis I did on the OP one, an…

Okay this is the third article I have seen posted on HN about this - and once again, it is just a circular mish-mash of anonymous second hand sources. These articles are all so cir…

Fair enough - I am going to wait until someone is willing to go on the record and preferably more than one source. For what it's worth, I read the talkingpointsmemo article on this…

I did the same manual analysis I did on the OP one, and could not find a first party source or non-anonymous claim. I asked CoPilot to analyze the sources and identify the individu…

This isn't a discussion about shutting down an agency that was created by executive order. It's a discussion about a bunch of anonymous sources and 'someone close to said' making e…
