What's the opposite of doom scrolling?

Spain just pulled off one of the fastest energy transformations in Europe.

@cmconseils so cool! Where do you find all this stuff?
@rollbear That name is perfect in every way. I'll be using from now on. Nothing like a bit of mythology to spice up a PR comment.
@ryanc wow, THAT is neat!
I believe it is Sir Terry Pratchett day.

So, heads up, I'm seeing this post announcing palantirwatch.org being boosted a lot: <excised>

However, the site seems to be vibe coded and, while I've just picked stuff at random, most claims are lacking sources and/or just plain wrong. I think it is all generated by an LLM.

- For example, the "Court Dossier" page mentions a 2019 case "Kik v. Palantir", about a "former partner" suing them for stealing fraud-detection tech. But a far as I can tell, there was no such case.
- The op-eds listed on the "Media & Narrative" page don't exist. E.g., Alex Karp never wrote an op-ed for The Atlantic.
- The few links given are incredibly generic (e.g., linking to a Bloomberg search result for "Alex Karp" rather than an actual story) or incorrect (like the Palantir page on OpenSecrets.org, which should be https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/palantir-technologies/summary?id=D000055177, and the figures don't match the website's).
- None of the quotes on the "Karp File" page seem to be real.

The creator's other sites appear to be LLM slop as well.

edit: the toot is taken down, site is "under construction".
