  1. 2026-04-27 / HACKER NEWSInvestigation: AI News Site 'The Wire by Acutus' Uses Bot Reporters, Potentially Funded by OpenAI PACModel Republic investigation found that The Wire by Acutus, a news site active since late 2025 with ~100 articles across technology, energy, and healthcare, has no masthead or named reporters. Pangram detection flagged 69% of 94 articles as fully AI-generated and 28% as partially AI-generated. When the site needs expert quotes, it sends bots to solicit them from real people who don't realize they're corresponding with software. Roughly half of the site's X engagement traced back to Patrick Hynes, president of Novus Public Affairs, suggesting a political dimension. Hit 36 points on HN.
