UPDATE: They pulled the story, but I had it up and had SingleFile in my browser, so: https://mttaggart.neocities.org/ars-whoopsie
@mttaggart of course they did, but now they'll need to explain how they managed to let that get published

@mttaggart I suppose one thing you can say about old newspapers - no one can pretend an article was never printed

@mttaggart So it was a double slop article? -_-

What's going on here? The matplotlib maintainer this story is about correctly notes that all the quotes from his post in the article are made up.
UPDATE: Link was pulled; see below.

@mttaggart Also, this is not a good situation. Ars has some serious explaining to do.

@mttaggart I happened to be reading in the comment section before the article got pulled.
Here is Aurich's last post saying the article was pulled and they're going to be investigating, but there probably won't be any answers until Monday and they'll update readers then.

@mttaggart Oh, I wish you'd gotten the comments too. I can only imagine what some familiar handles would have had to say in them.

@mttaggart wow they pulled the article down

@mttaggart I got the comments though.
@hackillu @mttaggart You got the comments online anywhere? I am dying to see them.

@jalefkowit @mttaggart Big same. Decades now.
They need to respond fast or I'm out.

@j_s_j @mttaggart Aurich said in the comments that they are investigating, but probably won't have a response until Monday.
It had better be a good one

@hackillu @mttaggart There's now a thread on the open forum.
EDIT: Oh, but it's been locked. I've bumped heads with Aurich about some stuff but I do trust him to be pretty open when they are ready to talk about it.
Journalistic standards?
Hi folks, Since Ars is apparently posting partially or fully AI generated articles now, I have to ask - is this going to be a continued policy going...

@mttaggart so, ars technica is now merely slop as well?

This scoop brought to you by the TTI Intel Feed, which also routinely beats commercial threat intel to the punch on important emerging threats.
Putting this here so all can see it. Ars forum thread where the pull and investigation are mentioned: https://arstechnica.com/civis/threads/journalistic-standards.1511650/
