- mzajc 4mo agoETA: Turns out ryanmerket is associated with runtimewire.com, and is likely posting this as self promotion. Please verify your sources; the linked article is unfiltered LLM output. I assume whatever model hallucinated this has confused one person[0] with another[1] because they share the same name, but there is otherwise no indication that they're the same person.
