| Is there an article about this written by a human? The “it’s not X. It’s Y” is too distracting. |

| For me it's the constant feel of everything being "exciting" while no real information is actually conveyed. It's a common tactic of both AI and clickbaity articles. There's no hard evidence here, just hearsay. Nothing really to report until there's more information. I don't want drama in reporting, I want facts. But I guess I'm an outlier which is how we got both this AI style and the clickbait it was trained on... It also doesn't help that all the title graphics have the same dramatic feeling and are certainly AI generated. |

| Waiting for the only human I trust in this space to report on this: https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/ |

| ▲ | bdelmas 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | You could also check Matt Levine from Money Stuff - Bloomberg. He is quite known on HN. The way he writes plus his great knowledge with no BS makes him my favorite (and only) journalist I follow. Edit: actually someone already found his article and posted it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47160848 | | |
| ▲ | consumer451 an hour ago | parent [-] | | Thanks, but the link to the journalist I shared has been threatened multiple times, and yet she kept trucking through. I rarely say "avoid MSM," but in this case, in 2026, I would personally recommend avoiding your MSM recommendation. No hard feelings. |

| ▲ | ChrisMarshallNY 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | +1 on that. Thanks! I'm sure she'll be right on it... | | |
| ▲ | consumer451 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | She's far braver than most of us. I self-censor all the time on this website. Havel's greengrocer, placing the sign. Carney at Davos, his eyes uncovered. |

| Matt Levine has a take: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/newsletters/2026-02-24/ai-... > Look, I am sorry. But if you go to Jump Trading and Jane Street and say “hello, I have an unregulated poorly designed mechanism that could lead to $50 billion of market value collapsing overnight, would you like to trade with me,” they are going to say yes, but their eyes are going to light up, you know? If at Time 0 you give them an extremely gameable system that can produce billions of dollars of profit, at Time 10 your system is going to be a smoking wreckage and they are going to have billions of dollars of profit. That’s their whole job, you know? I couldn’t tell you in advance what all the intermediate steps will be, and in fact in hindsight I cannot tell you what the intermediate steps actually were, how Jump and Jane Street made money off the collapse of Terra. But as a heuristic, I mean, come on. Terra was like “hello we have a balloon full of money, here is a pin, dooooooon’t pop the balloon.” Guess what! |

| Where is "it's not X. It's Y"? I didn't notice it. |
| |
| ▲ | duskwuff 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | The negative parallelism pattern is broader than the literal phrasing "not X, but Y". Here are some examples from the article: - "A new lawsuit doesn’t just revisit the $40 billion Terra-Luna meltdown; it questions whether..." - "Ten minutes is not a coincidence. It is a trade." - "It reads less like a rescue offer and more like a firm positioning itself..." - "These are not isolated; they are part of Snyder’s broader efforts..." - "Not just as bystanders, but as alleged participants..." | | |

| ▲ | tzs 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Thanks. I probably didn't notice them because they don't seem at all unnatural. | | |
| ▲ | wzdd an hour ago | parent [-] | | Not seeming unnatural is literally what the LLM is trained to be, but it's pretty interesting how little sense they make when you dig in. Goes to how little attention we pay normally, and/or how much weight we put on text seeming natural. "A new lawsuit doesn’t just revisit the $40 billion Terra-Luna meltdown; it questions whether..." -- the purpose of a lawsuit is to question something (by making an allegation), you don't sue someone to "revisit". "Ten minutes is not a coincidence. It is a trade." So is an hour, or thirty seconds, or...? "Not just as bystanders, but as alleged participants" -- the "just" doesn't make sense; participants aren't bystanders. Of the list, only "It reads less like a rescue offer" and "These are not isolated; they are part of Snyder’s broader efforts..." makes any sense in context. |

| The awful graphic at the top is certainly not made by a human. |
