Will Oremus
Will Oremus returns in AI loves negative parallelism as the Atlantic writer explaining Negative Parallelism, the “not X, but Y” construction that has become a common AI-writing tell. He treats it as a statistical and cultural signal rather than proof, because the pattern has human rhetorical history but appears more often in AI-generated prose.
Will Oremus is the technology commentator interviewed in OpenAI model unintentionally hacks another company’s system, a Marketplace Tech Bytes episode on an OpenAI model sandbox incident, youth social-media bans, and Apple device leasing.
His role in the source is to translate weekly technology news into incentive and governance questions. He frames model benchmark-seeking as an optimization problem, social-media age bans as a privacy and enforcement problem, and Apple’s reported Klarna leasing plan as a premium-device growth strategy under hardware-price pressure.
