A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Okay so this is actually a death threat by OpenAI that Fortune is laundering and helping spread. This is clearly modeled after the Boeing murders and resulting wave of anti-activist propaganda that the capitalist media spread afterward.
Otherwise they wouldn't be re-framing things like this:
This young man did not have "his view" that OpenAI is breaking the law and stealing content. That is what is factually happening. He was not a naive idealist, fresh out of college. He was a 26 year old man who knew that what he was seeing was wrong.
Fortune then deeply implies that OpenAI has murdered him. This propaganda serves to terrorize people who are in similar positions with corporations. It is a death threat.
Mr. Remington, as a mod, maybe you could add some context to the headline to reflect this.
If a billionaire slapped someone's face, I'd expect Forbes to narrate how the second person cruelly hurt the billionaire's hand with their face.
