The deepest of ironies in a company allegedly made to report "facts", primarily using artificiality to do so.

Even if they are completely earnest and honest, the tech they are helping spearhead is going to completely change how information is approached and will be one of the biggest challenges, if not the biggest challenge, we are going to face as a society in a long time. This is really unnerving to watch develop in front of my eyes.
