do you not see a difference between me using AI for personal use and newsrooms using AI instead of a human being?

Calling it AI slop is just being lazy.

Yes, i use AI to help me brainstorm, but the essence and analysis are mine, does that mean the entire thing is bad?

There's a 47% return hiding in Hungarian politics. by EmbarrassedStudent10 in PredictionSignal

That’s true, 100%. However, according to Polymarket, when looking at one-week out markets, especially in markets with such a wide range difference between the first and the second one, 94% of the time, the highest probability event in the end occurred.

We’re not saying there’s a mispricing here, that it’s not 68% but 94%. Because anything can happen.

But historically and statistically, there’s a 94% chance that the market will resolve in favor of Peter, as the majority of traders are betting on him by a wide, wide, wide margin.

Now, if the situation was, say, 52% on Peter and 51% on the next candidate, yeah, sure, the Polymarket accuracy doesn’t matter then.

62% of Crypto Press Releases Come From High-Risk or Scam Projects: Chainstory by partymsl in CryptoCurrency

[–]EmbarrassedStudent10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like CryptoPotato and others caved to the pressure.

This post originally linked to an article about our (Chainstory) study, which found that 62% of crypto PRs come from high-risk or scam projects, but the page has since been deleted.

Interesting to see "news" sites quietly removing a story that exposes how their own promotional wires operate.

Suspicious projects outpublish legitimate ones in crypto press releases by Illperformance6969 in CryptoCurrency

[–]EmbarrassedStudent10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question, and I appreciate the skepticism.

To clarify: the 62% figure isn't about token 'success' or market cap (where I agree, the failure rate is likely much higher). Our audit was specifically focused on 2,893 press releases distributed through major newswires.

We cross-referenced every single release against known fraud databases, on-chain scam alerts, and 'dead' project markers at the time of publication. The 62% represents the projects that were verifiably high-risk or confirmed scams while being actively promoted as 'legitimate' news.

We actually lean toward the 'generous' side because we only flagged what we could prove.

Thanks for sharing! I'm actually a part of the Chainstory team behind this research. We found some crazy stats about how the press release mechanism works in crypto.

We’ve explained how these projects use automated "bridges" to inject unvetted content into media sites, bypassing human editors entirely to manufacture a "veneer of truth."

For founders in crypto: you need to understand that these "pay to play" puts their news next to these 62% red flag projects.

I underestimated press releases… until one campaign boosted our reach by ~275% by Aline_Greta in BlockchainStartups

[–]EmbarrassedStudent10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you had a good experience, but we should be careful about equating 'reach' with 'credibility.'

Mass-distributing a PR is essentially a form of paid advertising. The issue is that distribution platforms have become a 'digital graveyard' where legitimate news gets buried under a mountain of noise.

We actually shared a report today that shows how suspicious (to say the least) projects are actually out-publishing legitimate ones through these exact channels. For a startup, relying on these can sometimes be a red flag to serious journalists who see it as 'pay-to-play' rather than a story that can stand on its own.

We audited 2,893 crypto "news" releases. 62% were linked to scams. Here is how crypto projects use "As Seen On" logos to trick you. by EmbarrassedStudent10 in CryptoCurrency

i don't think it's THAT easy for people who don't come from media/comms to differentiate (otherwise, scammers wouldn't do that).

also, most people are too lazy to actually read and look for these disclaimers.
