Claims that Sabine Hossenfelder took undisclosed money — framed as 'grants' rather than sponsorships — to produce anti-AI content have gone viral, with Wes Roth urging people to spread the word. But others call that framing misleading: the video covers paid content influencing discourse from both sides, the grants may not be undisclosed, and Hossenfelder says advertising from both camps is usually disclosed.
