OpenAI's super PAC is funding AI-generated news site attacking industry critics

An investigation found Acutus, a news site with no human reporters—69% of its 94 articles flagged as fully AI-generated. Its public JavaScript exposes an AI drafting dashboard with fields like 'AI Background Context' and 'Question Prompts.' The site's operator traces back to Targeted Victory, the firm running OpenAI's $125 million political operation. Acutus publishes articles attacking AI industry critics; the 'reporter' who emailed advocacy group Encode was a fabricated AI persona. The post does not confirm whether OpenAI or Targeted Victory has acknowledged the connection.

Why it matters: Investigative report with hard evidence — backend code, review logs, and funding trail — proving OpenAI's super PAC is funding an AI-generated news site to attack critics. Hits all three HKR axes and touches the highly sensitive topic of OpenAI's political operations. Score no...
