His whole thing is to make obvious incontestable claims about AI (LLM’s make mistakes) and connect it to unfalsifiable grand prognostications (It’s all gonna crash… any day now). Its the same tactic any preacher who harps on about the impending apocalypse uses.

What's your take on TFA then?
His increasing accuracy derives from him wisening up and criticizing LLM’s only in domains where there is a consensus, and keeping his more grand criticisms unfalsifiable.
I’m not the OP, and haven’t read much Marcus, but an analysis linking “chains of claims” together could be interesting, devaluing specific true claims when they are used to support a false claim. The claims dataset appears to evaluate each claim independently.
