And this happened one day ago. Ars Technica themselves reported on it:

Tech bros have fucked the world so hard in so many ways.

I don't think they're that crafty and devious. I think they just found another way to make themselves piles of money.

This particular grift won't last long, though. The fact that Degenerative AI is useless for most (perhaps all?) things is rapidly becoming obvious and the grifters' desperation is increasingly obvious as well.

It's OK. I didn't trust "legitimate" media before this anyway! 😅
