I agree, and the actual real implication in the article sounds just as bad as the headline, so I feel it's a clickbait machine editor who did this.
The claim BTW is that OpenAI is alleging that random people criticising them are actually in a conspiracy with Elon Musk (the actual person involved in a lawsuit with OpenAI) to discredit them, and the court is humouring this nonsense by subpoenaing random people's private messages.
He's not just a random dude, though. His organization is involved in lobbying efforts around OAI. The article claims there's no connection between the case being subpoenaed for and the stuff he did, and that's the part that might be abnormal and dirty, but it's nuanced and the clear bias on display demands their claims be taken with a grain of salt.
It looks to me like this article is carrying the guy's PR water for him. But just because the article feels manipulative doesn't mean there's necessarily no factual basis for it.
So I just... don't feel informed at all.
I get you. I feel that way about most news I consume these days.
