If you are trying to come up with anti-media conspiracies there are always plenty of ways to do it against any media company.

The idea that NY Times is particularly anti-Meta seems a stretch. They - like most traditional media companies - are anti-tech in general. The fact they also collect data doesn't make their reporting untrue.

Personally I think a much more interesting rumor to make up would be that Yann Lecun (who famously had his reporting lines rearranged to go through Alexander Wang after Scale.ai acquihire) works at New York University.

New York University is in the same place as the New York Times.

There's a conspiracy for you. I made it up, but I mean it could be true I guess?

(Of course Lecun also publicly congratulated Wang on the launch of the model. But maybe that's a ruse to hide everything.. blah blah)

>They - like most traditional media companies - are anti-tech in general. The fact they also collect data doesn't make their reporting untrue.

(sigh) In olden times you would have been free to use the em dash as you pleased. Unfortunately, now it's considered signal that you're an AI bot.

Readers here can't fathom that the NYT has inherent bias in a lot of its reporting

Does Meta not harvest data on a massive scale? Not sure what exactly is the issue with doing a series on that.

So llama4 is great? Have you been using it?
