How deep can someone go here.
Guy named Scott runs a GitHub (code base). AI agent (bot acting on behalf of a person, who has yet to come forward) submitted code. Scott rejects it. AI agent writes a “hit piece” (defaming article) on Scott.
Ars Technica, a trusted tech/science blog for nearly 25 years, writes a story about it, but the two authors who worked on it used AI to write the blog entry. Scott calls them out in the comments. At first he’s accused of lying or being a bot, but people dig into it and realise Ars Technica made up their quotes.
An Ars Technica user calls them out in their forums for posting AI slop as journalism, and the site’s founder and/or owner (“Aurich”) promises an investigation, and deletes the article, removing all the comments, and shutting down discussion over what happened until his team can investigate internally.
(Worth noting that Ars Technica is owned by a conglomerate called Condé Nast which also owns Reddit; therefore, Condé Nast is involved with AI, and also other unsavoury stuff, but relevant to this, AI.)
Aurich is just the forum mod and graphics designer, not owner.
Aurich is the creative guy, Ken Fisher founded it.
ETA: Confirmed by Wikipedia.
Though Reddit is a publicly traded company now, so they currently own only 30%.
