Or that Reddit post which has been circulating widely was the source for Kara’s tweets.

Mmmmm no. Kara is a bonafide journalist. Her sources are v real and authenticated for the things she shares.

authentication means finding a 2nd source. This reddit comment could be primary, armed with that it's not hard for Kara to find somebody inside to say "yes, accurate." That is real journalism.

Not according to Kara Swisher it isn't.

I know it's convenient to dUnK on journalism these days but this is Kara Fucking Swisher. Her entire reputation is on the line if she gets these little things wrong. And she has a hell of a reputation

I think the phrasing to the parent you replied to is perfect. "Aligns" is correct. IT doesn't really say which direction information flowed. Anyway, it is interesting how tech journalists get so deeply embedded in issues. She does seem to be pretty legitimate.

That account actually sounds like it is generating text via chatgpt. zero spelling mistakes and keeps things super vague

You've gotta be kidding me. No spelling mistakes means something was generated by ChatGPT now? Good grief.

I refuse to accept that the lack of spelling mistakes and the careful use of language is evidence of AI.
I can be sloppy, but I've known Real Humans to take great care with their written language.

I'm very curious what definition of safety they were using. Maybe that's where the disagreement lies.
AI safety of the form "it doesn't try to kill us" is a very difficult but very important problem to be solved.
AI safety that consists of "it doesn't share true but politically incorrect information (without a lot of coaxing)" is all I've seen as an end user, and I don't consider it important.
