Is OpenAI's PAC funding an AI-staffed 'news' site?

Nathan Calvin, representing the advocacy group Encode, received an interview request from Michael Chen, a purported reporter for The Wire by Acutus. Further scrutiny, however, suggests that Chen is likely a fabricated persona, and a significant number of "reporters" at Acutus—a platform noted for its pronounced pro-AI leanings—are believed to be automated bots. This revelation is understood to be an initial indicator of a financial trail that seemingly leads to OpenAI.
