Bias/manipulation evidence
-
Source B · Confirmation bias
That was obviously very concerning to me.
Possible confirmation-style pattern: this fragment reinforces one interpretation while alternatives are underrepresented.
-
Source B · Appeal to fear
According to Sutskever, though he had a role in the firing of Altman, he signed the employee petition to bring Altman back to prevent the company’s total collapse.
Possible fear appeal: threat-heavy wording may push a conclusion without equivalent evidence expansion.
