I just read this as a "not" joke. As in, "yeah that was the fastest ever CO2 increase in earth's history. Not"

Everyone fired their editors in 2008.

The editors are all gone now. Look at newspapers. No one is going to pay someone to check the work of the other guy you're paying for that work, that's like paying twice for the same job.

I’m going to hazard a guess it’s a combination of falling budget and an over reliance on autocorrect. If it’s like other industries, they’re trying to get more articles out with fewer people.

I know that I often have an atrocious number of typos - but some are entirely the fault of autocorrect either changing a correct word to something else or correcting a typo to a word that makes no sense in the context of the sentence. I’m hoping that the next generation will improve this.

If anything a now - not typo at least indicates that it was written by a human. LLM errors generally don’t involve that sort of thing.

It’s probably mostly AI-driven now. It sees the word ‘Not’ is spelled correctly, so it’s good to go.
