This isn't exactly a hard story to fact check. There is 0 evidence for this in either the reddit thread or really anywhere? If they were willing to lie about the company name why not just lie about the beef in their burgers it would be equally scandalous
Something being possible to do isn't enough evidence for rational people to believe that it happened. From my perspective, it's possible that you're Iron Mike Tyson, or that you died after your last comment and this one was posted by the assassin who killed you.
What? I never said it's evidence that it did happen, please don't make things up. I just pointed out the evidence provided to refute the claim is possibly invalid.
Because I'm not trying to prove that it did or not, but rather make parallels between that and OpenAI's name. For I care it could be an urban legend, but who cares that's not the point.
You are right, it could be. The problem is that its the kind of thing that would be almost impossible to disprove if it were false. So you can always raise doubts about a supposed disproof.
But it'd be really easy to prove if it were true and noone has offered proof. And there've been plenty of people who've looked for such proof, afaict.
My default assumption in such cases is that it is likely false.
There are at least two companies that have branded [..] Kosher Gelatin™. One of them makes gelatin that is considered non-kosher by all of the major kashrus agencies.
"Kosher Gelatin®", when in the ingredients, just means the product contains pork.
For what it's worth, I've spent a few minutes googling and can't find any story that corroborates this. The only US trademark I can find around "kosher gelatin" is by the brand Kolatin, which is apparently certified Kosher.
In the US, for a while I remember we had billboards advertising McDonald's burgers as being "1 <hamburger> <hamburger>% beef". Because the hamburgers were of course circular, it looked kind of like "100%".
I remember thinking that surely an image of a hamburger does not legally constitute a zero.
