I am fascinated how this outlet (theinformation.com) spreads clickbaity rumors and sells them behind paywall.

They are very legit and well researched articles, probably the most accurate in terms of tech news(semaphore is pretty good as well). However, for niche audience news, subscription is probably the only sustainable way to build a business

I'm curious why would they need to do this. They are ahead of Google (and are arguably less evil), so the best people should naturally want to go to them. Besides, they probably already have all the people they need, now they just need more GPUs to test ideas.

this is not my observations. I researched few news stories like that, and it was like "someone told someone" without a chance of verification.

I bet this one is also like that.

I dunno, I think it's pretty evil to misuse the word "open" like that
