On - My pet peeve with traditional publishing
I mentioned a Verge article, I clearly linked to it, and you can read it yourself if you'd like. The Verge's post gets this reporting from OpenAI's blog post, and they reference it a few times, but they never link to it.

Nothing in what they wrote lets you get to the OpenAI blog post they're referencing (here it is, if you wanted to read it). Why? I appreciate that if they are a primary source on a story, as in they got a statement from OpenAI for them to report on, then that makes sense. But in this case they're reporting on someone else's post. It just seems like if you're reporting on something someone else posted online, you ought to link to it.
I have experienced this myself. Just the other day, I was reading a Verge article that quoted another article. However, the reference linked to another Verge article instead of the original source, and I wanted to read the original article. Unfortunately, there was no link to the source in the article, which I found irritating and in poor taste.
