Ars Technica publishing an article with hallucinated quotes is really disappointing. That site has fallen so far. I remember John Siracusa’s excellent Mac OS release reviews and all of the author authors who really seemed to care about their coverage. Now it feels like another site distilling (or hallucinating, now) news and rumors from other sites to try to capture some of the SEO pie with as little effort as possible.

It's really a depressing condemnation of "news as entertainment" as a whole. The saga somehow hits harder than Slashdot being sold in a way.
