The main problem now is that Ars Technica and all other Conde Nast publications, with it now having a vested interest in openAI (they're getting paid by them), can no longer be reliably trusted to report on any AI or AI-adjacent topic whatsoever. And every user comment and content is now owned by openAI.
I bet MFCBot would work super well if it was updated to report on if the publication's owners had a vested interest in the topic.
Oh it would. It would require the MFC site itself to actually collect and collate data on site's parent company investment portfolios and that's a pretty massive ask from what sounds like a very tiny team.
I wonder if it could somehow pull that data from somewhere like ground news somehow
It might be able to? Ground has a browser extension that likely indicates they have some kind of external API access, it probably could be integrated with a little bit of effort.
