A whistleblower alerted the FTC about the "reverse-acquihire" of Covariant AI, a cutting-edge startup. A year later, Amazon has rapidly developed robots with human-like reasoning.
I thought this piece had an elaborate joke lede and kept scrolling for the punchline. Then I found myself at the end of the article. The “human-like reasoning” line from the subhead is found only once in the article, when it directly quotes Covariant’s marketing materials and parrots its claims with no scrutiny. I thought Hard Reset was above clickbait but I was proven wrong.
