FT is really losing it. Used to be reliable with quality takes. Now mostly following in line with the spectating takers.

In what sense? They are asking the questions that investment managers would be asking, like: "where the fuck is your revenue going to come from"
and "200 billion, when your revenue is 12, is the market you are targeting actually big enough to support that"
It's FT Alphaville, which means it's only supposed to be a blog-style comment on the HSBC report
It is to the point of yellow journalism. They know that the "OpenAI is going to go belly up in a week!" take is going to be popular with AI skeptics, which includes a large number of HN viewers. This thread shot up to the top of the front page almost immediately. All of that adds to the chances of roping in more subscribers.

FT (like all media) does not sell news, they sell ads.
FT's advertising revenue is under half of their total revenue
