Gibney spends most of his time on Musk’s penchant for overselling his products, particularly Tesla’s self-driving function, which has led to a bevy of accidents and lawsuits. The film also says Tesla vehicles lie to their owners, hiding actual driving-range estimates and other information.

Alright, I think that'll do for a rant.
Yes, the big AI labs are careless and evil, yes, there are boosters and grifters exaggerating and overselling to make a quick buck, etc etc.
But I've seen the magic trick and I thought it was neat.

I think it’s overselling to place so much hope on economic fixes because as soon as things are good, someone gets bored (and then the pillaging starts)

Yeah, and if they were going "We've developed a new MEMS manufacturing technique that's highly flexible" I wouldn't be making as much fun of it, but this guy's description is unhinged. It's like these guys are incapable of not grossly overselling their product.

Interior definitely looks "cosy" and the rear door aperture is a bit daft, but then XJs were pretty small inside too until the X350. Four doors might be overselling it - I'm guessing that next to say, a Conti GT, it still has an advantage there.

Overselling flights should be illegal. Had to wait forever because they decided to gamble some people might not show up

I truly hate whoever came up with “overselling” in the sense of “i know you booked this travel method for an actual reason yet bear with us we also sold it to many other people so we don’t have it for you.”

The Dead Internet Theory is a sharper, timelier comp than most; it signals the paranoia and the tech unease without overselling the scale. Swapping that for Fractal Noise changes what kind of reader leans in. Was the switch about tone, or about which shelf it sits on?

This report is pretty soft on Wang, and doesn't do justice to how performative and misleading her policies on sex work have been. Her administrative fines were rolled out without any plan in place for implementation while overselling outcomes.
Sex trafficking has victimized people in Oakland’s District 2 for decades. What can the next councilmember do?
Charlene Wang is trying to set up a survivor support fund while fining buyers. Nate Adams wants to focus on prevention and services.

I think you’re overselling that. Grid scale renewables are also attackable but you do it differently. Take out the step up transformers and you’re down a year or more. And the explosion of a large HV transformer makes for almost as nice a YT video

A test bot filled out a police tip form on an unsolved murder with no name or contact info, and the cops flagged it as spam. Worth fixing. Calling it rogue AI is overselling it, especially since the company found the mess and published it themselves.
Anthrophic Says Claude Gave Cops False Tip on Murder Case
It took the company two months to realize its artificial intelligence model had gone rogue and reached out to authorities about the unsolved murder.

This is underrated. Being upfront about what your tool can’t do builds more trust than overselling. I’ve found the same with a finance app: people trust “we verify against your bank” more than any big promise.

Saying "it wasn't very popular, so I was worried it might be canceled at any moment" when it had an actual early run of (seeming) popularity prior to the chapter he's focusing on does come off a little like overselling things.
If he had introduced the Boomerang Hook in mid-to-late 1977, then sure.

I was giving my take on the specific chart in your post.
I don’t think he’s overselling the situation back then — he’s just saying “Yeah, I was hanging in there, but I wasn’t exactly doing Circuit no Okami numbers”.

While Kurumada was probably overselling RnK's lack of popularity a little bit, since it was already 75 weekly chapters in when he debuted the Boomerang Hook, he's definitely right about what that specific chapter represents, not just for RnK & Kurumada but also action manga, in general.

Robin was a bit surprised he had already somehow made a name for himself. That Majide fellow had picked a fight with the tactician at one point, but Robin had held his own.
