This is the thing that people who don’t understand how Elizabeth Holmes and Sam Bankman-Fried got away with it for so long are missing. Smoke, mirrors, fakery, and outright lies are endemic in Sillicon Valley. “Fake it til you make it” (or run out of money lol) is woven into the DNA of the place. It’s hard to identify frauds because everyone uses the same scummy tactics. But we’d rather cast Holmes/SBF as villains than look too deeply at the whole industry. https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/7/23992737/google-gemini-misrepresentation-ai-accusation
