Saw many toots and posts the other day referencing the drone that killed its human operator. In a simulation.

That story has since been debunked. It was not a simulation, it was just a thought experiment. So a purely fictional story.

But I’m already seeing people reference the story in writing and in talks. The story is just too good and people love the element of shock.

A good reminder of how fake stories proliferate, and the debunking of those stories do not.

I also feel most media did a terrible job of reporting on this.
