It's a deliberate click/ragebait, not a mistake. It makes People click and talk about it, just like it happens here.

That is a bizarre take. Dwarkesh Patel is publishing in a very specific domain, where RL is a very common and unambigous acronym. I'd bet it was immediately clear to 99% of his normal audience, and to him it's such a high frequency term that people finding it ambiguous would not even have crossed his mind.

(Like, would you expect people to expand LLM or AGI in a title?)

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

		There needs to be a new law, applicable to posts on the Internet of any kind. Because that law doesn't hold, when malice has a massive profit motive, and almost zero downside. Spammers, popups, spam, clickbait, all of it and more, not stupid, but planned.
