People make mistakes, it's not that deep. The correct incentive to encourage is admitting, and understand and forgiving when necessary because you don't want to encourage people to hide mistakes out of shame. That only makes things worse.

Especially considering forgetting the delta between yours and someone else's shared context is extremely common. And the least egregious mistake you can make when writing an untargeted promo post.

My bad. I will be more mindful tomorrow when someone at a big tech company yet again make-a-mistake in the same direction of AI hyping. Maybe with a later addendum. Like journalists that write about a Fatal Storm In Houston and you read down to the eighth paragraph and it turns out the fatality were among pigeons.

    Are you mad at them for playing the game, or mad that that's the game they have to play to advance at their company?

    I don't know; I guess I hold people who post on twitter so they can self-promo, or who have attention because they work at $company, to a slightly different standard than I would hold a journalist writing a news article?
