"Conviction" is the name of an AI company. I only read the article to figure out who went to jail and why.
Halfway through the article, I find this:
> Near the center of the moment is a 37-year-old woman a smidge over five feet tall, with blonde hair and more energy than her frame seems built to hold. When she talks, her whole body is caught in the updraft of the thought. Her name is Sarah Guo.
This reads like a theatre announcement for a play. Whole sections on how they dressed. Are they planning a new "Pirates of Silicon Valley" like movie of this or what? How much of the AI bubble is performative?
>A few days later he was riding home in his self-driving Tesla, trading voice messages with the agent about his sleep, when it recommended a magnesium supplement. He said he had none. The car turned. “There’s a Whole Foods nearby,” the agent said. “I’ve redirected your navigation.” He went in and bought the magnesium.
I read about 80% of this and it ended up being more of a puff piece than anything. I'm not really sure what I was supposed to get out of this other than a description of one persons tenacity in general?
I can put up with a little bit of dramatic name dropping in an article at the start, but it never stops. Almost every paragraph is reads like some snappy autobiography of someone trying to impress the reader. I'm not even sure what the article is about, other than name dropping.

That seems extremely embellished.
