Ed Zitron is such a hack. The ellipses here replaced a paragraph that started "The company disclosed the figures to investors as part of an ongoing funding round." It's dishonest to cut that paragraph and then act like the timing is suspiciously coincidental.

@binarybits Huh? That's his point These numbers are specifically there so they can raise more money? What difference does it make that it was disclosed to investors? It wouldn't do them any good to not disclose them to investors. They are trying to raise money

@binarybits @KelseyTuoc He might be. But it's rich coming from someone with "reporting on AI" in their bio.

@binarybits Don't see the concern. What was concluded match what was elided. Everything remains the same.

@binarybits ed midtron will continue twisting himself into a self contradictory loop btw and he'll get more clownish as time goes on as reality completely disagrees with everything he says the downfall will be biblical

@binarybits @KelseyTuoc Lol yeah that guy is an absolute clown

@binarybits Then you have this guy x.com/i/status/20572…

@binarybits He's a clown. Really disappointing he's given so much attention from legitimate journos I love.

@binarybits @edzitron are you a hack?

@binarybits He knows what his readers want

@binarybits Who takes him seriously?
