#3> For your piece, the Vision Funds actually posted a GAIN for the quarter of $0.8 billion, including shared assets such as its ARM holdings.
Is this ChatGPT? The “For your piece” seems so weird in a human written work.

Yeah I noticed that too. Given how often corporate writes these articles for editors I wouldn’t be surprised if someone copy pasted and then forgot that edit.
Feels like a submarine accidentally surfaced

Yep, very odd, my guess would be this was sent to the reporter by their comms contact at Softbank and they literally copy/pasted it.
For context, here’s the full paragraph. The positive framing (“a GAIN”, and “significantly less…”) makes me think this came from someone spinning on Softbank’s behalf.
> For your piece, the Vision Funds actually posted a GAIN for the quarter of $0.8 billion, including shared assets such as its ARM holdings. Stripping out shared assets, SoftBank’s Vision Fund 1 and 2 and its Latin American fund together posted a quarterly investment loss of 13 billion yen ($91 million) — significantly less than the 2,919 billion yen loss a year ago ($20 billion).

Yeah I noticed that. Unlike others that think it was material handed to the author by corporate relations, I agree with your assessment. It’s an AI artifact.
