this is literally some of the most unhinged shit I've ever read, an invented private court in which aggrieved billionaires file suits made to harass journalists with juries made up of AI (and, presumably, prompted with "the customer is always right, and the billionaire is our customer"). Even as a proof of concept, that's repulsive.
