Ars Technica Fires Reporter After AI Controversy Involving Fabricated Quotes

Ars Technica has fired senior AI reporter Benj Edwards following an outrage-sparking controversy involving AI-fabricated quotes.

Futurism
@davidgerard I really hate how two-faced Aurich is. Go read the comment thread under that idiotic 'expose' of "Hacker X" and how the site had been taken in by a fake security researcher who worked to legitimize a fake hacker group, spread far right propaganda, and Aurich played stupid about why readers who unmasked it all within hours of the article would be upset with the site.

@davidgerard Hey, lets post a receipt so people understand why I targeted Aurich specifically!
